I'm currently a uni student. What kind of part-time/summer work related to teaching can i do? Work that will give me experience in working/teaching young people.
Basically anything but volunteering at a school as a teaching assistant.
I need to know specific places that i can work at.
Any teachers out there?? Any people applying to teachers college in the near future?? What did you do/are doing?
I live in Ontario, Canada btw.

Coming from a teacher, the best I can say is to work with after school programs, check out the boys and girls club, and work with summer camps. But volunteering is a big part of the application. I coached soccer. Just being involved in the community and working with the age range that you would like to teach.

Do either a summer day camp or an overnight camp. I did those through high school and college, and it gave me a lot of useful things to put on my resume. It looks really good when you have a lot of experience with working with children, and when you're a student it's really easy to do a summer job like that. It also is usually a lot fun, too. I've heard that summer camps are an American thing, so I don't know if there are a lot of them in Canada. If there aren't, look up a program called Camp America. It'll get you in somewhere. A lot of the people I worked with came through that and it's really cool. You get to meet people from all over the world. Good luck with it.

I'm also a college student on my way to an education degree. I worked in an after school program for 2 years and a summer camp. Right now, I'm a substitue teacher, and that's probably all I'll have time for during the rest of my time as a student.

I teach ESL classes in the summer. In BC the pay is about $25 per hour and you usually get about twenty-five hours of work per week. You aren't paid for prep time. Of course, I already have a BA, a TEFL certificate and TESOL experience. If your area has a museum run by the government, see if you can get on staff there for the summer. Museum experience is good because you'll naturally pick up knowledge about the displays and you'll often work with children. Government-run museums are even better because they are usually unionized.

they are no longer meant to be from you. in any different case, the admissions workplace is going to question in case you manipulated them and you will run the prospect of them in truth being voided. you are able to desire to provide the academics a pre-addressed and stamped envelope and be useful to observe on a positioned up-it or something while the final date is. faculties that require suggestions will oftentimes make you sign the advice sheet previously something's particularly written asserting you haven't any longer considered what has been or would be written.
