If you are wondering about how to become a teacher, you should definitely continue reading. After all, helping young minds reach their full potential can be highly rewarding.
There are different routes you can take to become a teacher, some better than others. First it is important that you decide which age groups you would want to teach. For instance, if you don’t want to teach young children but you’re also uninterested in dealing with teenagers, you might want to consider a BEd for the Senior and Intermediate phase (Grade 4 to Grade 9).
Once you have decided what age group you want to teach, it’s important that you also choose the right place to study to help you on your path. This is incredibly important because they need to help you gain the skills to successfully complete your studies, and in the right area.
For example, you would need to make sure that all the important parts of being a successful teacher are covered. You would need to cover topics such as School Subjects, Educational Themes and Professional Studies. Choosing where to study is as important as choosing the right group you want to teach.
