Hello Everyone,
I have just found out about some interesting information for those of you who enjoy teaching or want to embark on education policy. There is an organization called, Teach for America, which helps to provide quality teachers for children who face the challenges of poverty. Essentially, you would teach for them for two years and obtain a teaching certificate or a masters in education upon your completion. You also get paid during your teaching. I am attending an information session for the program tomorrow, but you can find out more information at their website.
In addition, ASU has a new masters degree plan through the education department: Masters in Education Policy. Education is my passion, so I am very curious to find out more about this degree plan. As you all know, I am in the public policy program, but this seems like a great opportunity for me to work on an area of policy that I am passionate about. My hope is that the college of public programs decides to implement a concurrent degree plan with the education policy, in the near future. I will have some more information regarding the program soon! I hope this has been beneficial to many of you.
That organization is amazing, also there is another called City Year which is almost similar, but not. I am actually looking into city year because you can high schools graduate on time, pretty you are changing their lives. Education is the most powerful weapon we have to change the world. I hope you succeed in your teaching journey. Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteHi Fatemah,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mohamed. Teach for America is an outstanding organization. I have had a few friends go through the program and they loved it! If you are passionate about education, I would definitely recommend looking into that more. It's so rewarding to help people, and you seem to be having a good time at your internship so far!
