This week someone found my website by using the search terms "why is it so easy to become a teacher?" I was offended by that. It was not by any means 'easy' for me to become a teacher, and is even more challenging and rigorous for people to attain a teaching certificate here in Oregon these days. I try to let things roll off of my back, but this time, no. If you are so inclined, you can see my comments at this link How about where you live? Was it 'easy' for you to become a teacher? I must know.

If you're not entirely clear on what motivates you, or what your personal strengths are, then it's about high time you knew! IF think you know yourself really well - try the assessment and see if it's on target, or if perhaps you didn't know yourself as well as you thought you did. The welleducator blog will link you to an excellent online assessment. Give it a try.
