Journal Assignment

· View all three parts of the Becoming a Teacher webinar: Exploring the Education Field, Gaining Experience and Career Options in the Education Field and Getting Certified as a Teacher.

· What information provided by the webinar had the biggest impact on you personally?  What type of research do you need to do to become a teacher in the state in which you live? 

· What other information do you believe you need in order to become a teacher? 

After viewing the three videos. The biggest impact on me was the knowledge about building a resume. I have been involved in many groups like AmeriCorps and local boy & girls club.

I did research on what information I needed in becoming a teacher in my state.(Texas) There are several ways but the best suited for me is the Alternative Certification

I will need to take Texas certification test and go through a mentoring program for one year like a probation period.
