Resources for Education Majors
Above all, what separates the most impressive teacher candidates from the rest is the passion they demonstrate about their profession. You see it in their eyes, you hear it in the way they talk about what they have done and what they want to do, and they share two vital characteristics: first, they don’t want to teach math, or music, or third grade, they want to teach children. … And second, they are teachers not because they want to be, but because they have to be. - Paul Webb, 2019 AAEE Job Search Handbook
