Questions on Why to Become a Teacher!

Within the next two weeks I plan on surveying some teachers and learning more about their job. Here are some questions I may ask: 

1. What grade do you teach?

3. What did you major and/or minor in? 

4. On a scale from 1-5 how happy are you with the benefits of a teacher? 

5. Do you agree or disagree with your pension plan? 

6. On a scale from 1-5 how much do you love your job? 

7. How many hours of homework do you have a night? a) 1-2 b) 3-4 c) 4-5 d) over 6 hours 

8. Do you need to get a summer job to keep supporting your needs in the summer? 

9. Do you agree or disagree with the income you make a year? 

10. How many years have you been working to get the income you are making now? 

11. What is the difference between what you started off making as a teacher to now? a) 2,000-4,000 b) 5,000-7,000 c) 8,000-10,000 d) over 10,000 dollars

12. Would you recommend me becoming a teacher? 

13. Do you have any advice or tips for me to know before becoming a teacher?

2nd Quarter Project!

For my Quarter 2 project I will be surveying teachers in all different grades levels such as Pre-school, Elementary, Middle and High school. I will ask some questions to teachers at IHA and the rest at my old school, Visitation Academy. In my survey I will be asking teachers different questions about their every day life within their job. Some questions I will be asking are about their income and pension to see if they agree or disagree with it. Also I will be asking these teachers about their benefits and if it is worth being a teacher with the work load. Next I will ask the teachers if they have a higher degree of education such as Masters degree rather than just a Bachelors degree. Lastly I will be asking the teachers if they have to get another job in the summer because they are off and do not get paid in the summer. I’m doing it this way because it will give me a better feel about how teachers feel about their job, income, benefits, retirement, and work load. The survey will help me see how teachers feel about their job and since I want to become a teacher, see what I can do to enjoy my job more.

 

Quarter 2

EDUCATION

For my quarter two assignment I will be going out and surveying different teachers talking to them about Education. I will ask a variety of questions to see their view on pension, pay, retirement, their classroom environment and much more. Not only will I be surveying Catholic school teachers but also I will try to find some public school teachers and see the difference between the two different environments. Also I would do case studies of individuals and see what they say about Education.
