EDU 100: Issues in Education Week 3 DQ 1

Career Option

When most people think of the careers in education, they default to a classroom teacher.  In the past decade, the education arena has broadened to offer a wide array of career opportunities.

Use the World Wide Web to research career options within the education arena.  Consider these three things:

• The “WHY” you identified. (Week 1).
• How the “Six Pillars of Character” come into play as educators relate to their students (week 2).
• The education level which interests you (early childhood, elementary, middle school, high school, adult).
•  

Other than classroom teacher, identify one alternate career path which might interest you. 

As you share your findings with your classmates, include the following:      

• A description of the position and its duties.
• Where would one expect to work if employed in this position?
• The minimum level of education required to serve in that position.
• The skills and experience required to serve in that position.
• The salary range advertised for the position.
