As a former certification officer and program director for an online school of education, I’ve had the distinct pleasure of helping many candidates become state-certified K-12 educators. I’ve also witnessed an unfortunate number of withdrawals and failures to complete programs. It is an arduous journey to become a certified and highly qualified teacher.

Teachers are charged with the task of delivering curriculum to their students. But to be most effective, teachers should make sure to teach curriculum in meaningful ways that their students can relate to and apply to either their current or future lives-within and beyond the classroom walls. One way to make curriculum and learning more engaging, motivating, and relevant is to teach through humane education themes.

Beginning a career in the education profession can be a challenging endeavor. Once you’ve completed your program coursework and you are ready to enter your field placement the real work begins. What we cannot teach you in the classroom is your passion and attitude toward the daily tasks that an educator faces. Every day is different and there is no possible way to determine what your day holds.
