Welcome! This activity is designed to help you assess your own knowledge and attitudes about careers in teaching. It will also provide information about teaching careers so you can make informed decisions.
You may have heard of the national and statewide shortage of well-qualified teachers. Here at SMCM, we want to change the shortage. Our teacher preparation program has pathways for students to earn a BA/BS in a relevant subject and an MAT (Masters of Arts in Teaching degree). You can learn more about the program at the end of this activity.
However, one reason why we have a teacher shortage is that many people are unaware of the facts about the teaching profession. The rest of this activity will get the facts out about teaching and hopefully provide you with another option for a career pathway to consider.
To start off, let's find out a little about you and your interests. Please respond to the question below and click "Submit". (All responses in this activity are anonymous, except where you have the option to provide an email at the end.)
