Having a career in teaching will inspire people. A career change in teaching, whether you are transitioning to or from, will bring many life and work experiences.
Many get the ability to use these experiences combined with the enthusiasm for a subject. Teachers are responsible for providing lessons and setting students up in life. Any form of this industry can be an incredibly satisfying and rewarding occupation. As well as the expertise and transferable skills of a teacher learning role, it makes a person a desirable choice for a number of other jobs too. It is satisfying to be accountable for helping children and young people get better at what is being taught to them. An education, for example, to give them the know-how they need to excel is very rewarding.
Have you ever imagined what a profession that makes a real difference to thousands of lives would be like? Or maybe you’re after a challenge, a work that drives you to grow and improve, while every day rewarding you?

Geography is a subject that is crucial for students to understand; to learn how our world has developed, and ultimately to appreciate that they are the custodians of their own fragile inheritance.
The dance luminary Jurgen Schneider, our master teacher and also a Ballet Master at American Ballet Theatre, told me I was a born teacher. I resented this because I wanted to perform first, then teach. I also thought many teachers I had seen were bitter ex-dancers or bitter dance lovers who never got to perform. I did not want o become like that!
