Education Careers
Students wishing to follow a career in education and teaching may benefit from having certain skills and attributes as well as an education degree. Useful attributes include the ability to explain concepts in a number of different ways to aid understanding and comprehension. Good communications skills therefore are essential for most teaching roles.
High levels of written English are also important. Whichever career path a student decides on, be it kindergarten or postgraduate training, prospective candidates need to have patience and an ability to form a teaching relationship quickly.
A Master of Science in Education may incorporate courses on different teaching methods and the theory behind the process of learning. Education degrees may also include courses on psychology, educational models, and curriculum design. For those interested in teaching a particular subject such as physics or math, a first degree in that subject is generally required as well as a Master of Science in Education.
