SOMETIMES ONE BRIEF SCENE SUMS UP THE SATISFACTIONS OF YOUR JOB Telling it as it was in Tudor times The imagination of a third-form class is captured by a lesson on the history of drama. The teacher communicates her special feeling for the subject; the students respond with growing interest. It's all there — the challenge of getting something across is met: a good relationship established; a sense of achievement enjoyed — in this rewarding moment. The opportunity to develop and pass on personal interests or particular talents is one of the attractive features of secondary teaching. It's a demanding career, but this teacher finds real satisfaction in her daily involvement with people. What Does Teaching Have To Offer?

For them, individual fulfilment is the most important requirement from a career, and teaching provides it. Liking children ... enjoying rapport with them ... being involved in an ongoing process ... the variety, so there's never boredom. Challenge ... the rewarding feeling of getting something across ... developing your own particular interests or talents ... "having a go" at new ideas. These are satisfying aspects of a teacher's job. For further information on Kindergarten, Primary, or Secondary Teaching, see a school principal.
