I am looking for a higher learning Education to go for my bachelor in edu. any suggestions.?

Answer 1

First, know what kind of education you want to specialize in...Primary, secondary, special ed, preschool, etc...

Second, choose a school that is in the state you want to teach in.

Third, research if you can. Find out which schools have the best graduation rates, and highest number of graduates in education. Choose a school that has a good program.

Fourth, dont get hung up on the school name. A state university degree will be just as good as a private school.

Fifth, minor in child development, child psychology, or sociology. These become VERY helpful when you are looking for a teaching position.

Answer 2

It sounds like you are trying to get into teaching? There are multiple options open to you. I liked some of the recent answers but here is some other thoughts...
Get a degree in a subject you enjoy and a school that suits the subject. Then go to the state you want to teach in and get your certification. Each state is different so you will want to research this. By getting a bachelors in a subject you enjoy, you will be better equipped to teach in that subject and the certification teaches the basics of teaching.
A bachelors in education always seemed like a masters in business, it is so generic that you don't stand out in a crowd of interviewees. It also does not equip you for alternatives if you decide you don't like teaching at some point.
Good math and science teachers are definitely in demand. I have a bachelors in math and many years of industry experience. I investigated teaching math in high school and was surprised at how accommodating some schools were about helping me with the teaching certification. The starting pay was also more negotiable.
Just some inputs from a stranger. I wish you luck! It is a totally under-appreciated profession for the level of responsibility you hold. The future is in your hands!

Answer 3

This is an extremely broad question. I can only assume by "edu." that you mean a more generalized education degree such as "middle grades education" or "elementary education" rather than a specialized field such as "english ed." or "music ed."

If you're going into this for the first time, the main important thing is to STAY COMMITTED! Most people that stop going to school wish they had continued on until the end, and it is very difficult to start back again once you stop.

I can't really suggest a school because I don't know where you're from or any other details that you omitted. Just pay close attention to your grades, and STAY COMMITTED TO YOUR WORK.

Good luck!

First of all, you need to do your research. Check out the local community colleges and state colleges for requirements and program details. Decide on what level you want to teach: Grade school, middle school or high school. If you’re not sure, check with the local schools to see if they have volunteer programs that will expose you to each level so you do not leap blindly. Once you decide on a grade level and a subject if you are looking at middle school or high school, you next step is to check out your state guidelines for teaching licenses and certifications. You B.A in Education is worthless unless you can get your state license or certificate. You will not be allowed to teach without them. Also consider what type of additional continuing education you will need to keep your teaching credentials. Most states require you to eventually seek a master's degree. Think past the now. Do you want to spend twenty years teaching or is your ultimate goal to become a principle?

Once you fully understand the scope of what is required to become a teacher in your state, compare the programs at the community and state colleges. Find one that best meets your goals. Most programs require you to do a full year of student teaching as a graduation requirement. Think of it as an internship.

As far as online colleges are concerned, I would stay away from them. While it is perfectly fine to take a few online classes in addition to traditional classes, you do not want an entire degree made up of them. Online degrees are still regarded as a questionable to a lot of potential employers. You also would miss out on the social benefits of traditional college such as dorm life, networking, and on campus life. Some of the important lessons learned at college are not taught in a class room.

Sadly, teachers are grossly underpaid considering the education requirements. You may want to look into going to a community college to get an Associate Degree in Education then continuing to a State college for your B.A. It will save you money. In some states there is a shortage of teachers. In these states, there are programs to help cover the cost of your education. There are also special home buying programs sponsored by the Federal Government.

I wish you good luck and much success in your pursuit to become a teacher.

Answer 5

Get your degree from a school in the State where you want to teach. If not, you could be stuck with a out of state provisional teaching license and have to take yet more classes after you graduate to fulfill your other States different licensing requirements.

Answer 6

There are a lot of really good places to get an education, where are you located? There are universities, community colleges and even on line classes available for many things.

Answer 7

Don't drink, smoke or do drugs. Allow sufficient time for study.You also need to get plenty of fresh air and exercise to keep the brain firing on all neurons. Study groups for a specific area was one of my favorites. (Ex: Psychology Club.) Also I found outdoor study groups or even classes were great when conducted by our regular professor. Survey Q3R. It works!

keep your grades over c+, if you mess up every here and there its o.k. keep em as high as you can. Then ask your school councelor to tell you about a (FAFSA.) It can get you FREE MONEY for school almost guranteed. Also, take at least ONE college prep class.

So do the first sentence in High school, the second sentance your junior and/or senior year. and the last sentance at anytime in highschool.

Answer 10

Decide where you want to teach, then choose a college/university in that state. Otherwise, TCU in Fort Worth has some great Ed. programs.
