I have decided that I want to be a kindergarten teacher. I am only in high school so what can and do i have to do to become a kindergarten teacher? Are there courses? What type of degree from university would i need? Is there any australian websites about being a kindergarten teacher? any help is good. Thanks.
No seriously, I’m actually serious.
To the person above me- teaching is an extremely respectable career, and if you’ve had any success in your own life, it’s mainly due to your teachers. I’m sorry that you’re too ignorant to see that.
But anyway, I also plan on being a kindergarten teacher. I’m a senior in HS now as well, and there are a few classes availible- like child development, educational methods, exploratory teaching(internships)-so just ask a counselor if you have any courses related to teaching.
As for college, you’ll need to get a degree in general education first, and then declare your major as early childhood education or elementary education(both cover kindergarten in most areas-I’m not sure about Australia though). When you get there, work with a counselor and they’ll help you plan exactly what courses you’ll need.
Not until you have failed at everything else can you qualify to be a teacher. Then once you fail at that you are set for the kindergarten level.
