In DOL Printer-friendly version ( HTML PDF Nature of the Work Working Conditions ... Sources of Additional Information Significant Points Public school teachers must have at least a bachelor’s degree, complete an approved teacher education program, and be licensed. Many States offer alternative licensing programs to attract people into teaching, especially for hard-to-fill positions. Excellent job opportunities are expected as a large number of teachers retire over the next 10 years, particularly at the secondary school level; opportunities will vary somewhat by geographic area and subject taught. Nature of the Work About this section Back to Top Teachers act as facilitators or coaches, using interactive discussions and “hands-on” approaches to help students learn and apply concepts in subjects such as science, mathematics, or English. They utilize “props” or “manipulatives” to help children understand abstract concepts, solve problems, and develop critical thought processes. For example, they teach the concepts of numbers or of addition and subtraction by playing board games. As the children get older, the teachers use more sophisticated materials, such as science apparatus, cameras, or computers. To encourage collaboration in solving problems, students are increasingly working in groups to discuss and solve problems together. Preparing students for the future workforce is the major stimulus generating the changes in education. To be prepared, students must be able to interact with others, adapt to new technology, and think through problems logically. Teachers provide the tools and the environment for their students to develop these skills.

Back to school: University mentors explain latest research methods to high school teachers Ten St. Louis-area high school biology teachers are at Washington University this summer as part of an innovative research transfer program. The program, sponsored by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB), based in Bethesda, Md., involves high school teachers who work on cutting-edge research with university mentors. These clusters of university and high school teachers exist in several regions throughout the United States. The teachers, many of whom have been away from university laboratories since their undergraduate days, are provided a $5,000 stipend for the 12-week experience, as well as $500 to provide materials for new experiments in their high school laboratories during the upcoming school year. Their goals are to learn new techniques in biochemistry and molecular biology and to transfer some of their knowledge into high school laboratory experiments and lessons. "The program seeks to make high school teachers aware of what's happening in modern biology," said Sarah C. R. Elgin, Ph.D., professor of biology and ASBMB mentor of Todd Gienke, a high school teacher at Whitfield School in St. Louis. "There's been a revolution in modern biology over the past 10 years, and many high school teachers who graduated in the 70s and early 80s, for instance, haven't had opportunities to keep current with these techniques and developments."

More than 10,000 teachers in eight cities took more than 255,000 hours of training as part of Intel's $3 million 1999 K-12 professional development program. The teachers learned how to build effective science research programs in the classroom and how to integrate technology into their lesson plans. In addition, Intel's U.S. sites implemented programs to address local educational needs, such as working with local school districts and nearby museums. While nine out of ten schools have access to the Internet, a recent Department of Education survey found that only 20 percent of teachers felt capable of using technology in their classrooms. A recent survey sponsored by Bayer Corporation found that many teachers felt less qualified to teach science than other subjects; nearly half said their teacher training course work was only minimally helpful for science teaching.

So he went back to school. He attended university-run workshops on making small seminars exciting, managing course websites and incorporating technology in the classroom. "I can no longer imagine myself teaching the way I used to teach, which was to stand up and just talk for an hour," says Prof. Browne, who teaches in both the faculty of arts and science, and medicine. "I think first-year students today really like the group work. I think they come into university a little fearful. Will they fit in? And they find out by talking with their peers, they can." Say goodbye to professors who stand in front of a classroom lecturing for hours on end. With students demanding more for their high tuition fees, a growing number of Canadian universities are looking to make the classroom experience more dynamic. And to do this, they are drawing professors out of the lab and into teaching workshops.

Tsunami disaster – countries in crisis Latest stories How UNICEF is helping Newsline Real lives ... FAQ Children going back to school in Thailand Students from Ban Nam Kem School wait in military trucks to be taken home. PATONG BEACH, Thailand, 14 January 2005 – In classrooms of Baan Kalim School – swept through by the surging waters of the tsunami not even three weeks ago – students are back at their desks. The school, which stands only a few dozen metres from the sands of Phuket Island’s Patong Beach, managed to reopen on schedule following the New Year holiday. The school lost one of its two buildings to the tsunami, but its teachers count the school as one of the luckier ones: none of its students or staff died. While Baan Kalim School has managed to get back up and running quickly, many students are still nervous about studying so close to the sea. Panudda Srikocha, nine, lost her home in the disaster and nearly lost her father. He was out fishing when the waves hit and was swept inland onto a utility pole. Fortunately for him, there was no electricity in the lines. Panudda says she is happy to be back among friends, but she is still afraid the waves might come again. Students at Ban Nam Kem School in southern Thailand board military trucks to return to their temporary homes at a relief camp.
