I encourage students to explore literature and history, and create a pathway to help them be successful.
I am a "cat-herder" trying to teach the nebulous subject of English to the masses. I come in and greet my coworkers and students, and use my planning period to review the lesson I've planned for that day. From there, I work with my colleagues on improving my lessons and reach out to students who may be struggling and their parents. Finally the best part: I get to help students learn about a subject I am passionate about.
Here's the first step for college students
Volunteer or substitute in classrooms--you need to see if it's right for you.
"Teaching is so hard, and you're not going to be able to help all those students who don't want to learn!"
