inspirational teacher. You will learn skills on how to manage a classroom while still providing an
interesting lesson. In this field, you will influence children, teenagers or adults in a way that can

allows you to have a more one on one role with the student in order to motivate and encourage
them.

may choose to work as a curriculum developer. Here you would work with state standards and
tests, instruction methods, and technology to make sure students are getting the best education
possible.
There are many different skills essential to working in education: Some of the most
important are enthusiasm, compassion, dedication, creativity, organization, and flexibility. No
matter how perfectly you plan a lesson or a meeting; there is always a chance that something
may not go according to plan, making quick thinking and adaptability important. It is also
important to have a passion for the future, even if you are not working directly in a classroom
every day.
There is a very wide variety of majors within education. Students with different strengths
can excel in this field because of the endless options. Students in education should have a desire
to help the greater common good and should also have strong communication skills.
Communication is important for teaching, but also to make sure everyone is on the same page,
whether it is parents, administrators, or the state.
