[quote=Anonymous]Try subbing first. Anyone with a BA can be a sub. You have to fill out an app and interview w/the dept of ed in your district, but it is well worth it to spend a few days alone in front of some real classrooms before you invest in more ed. Keep in mind - getting your MEd is the easy part. You have complete control over your own education/values/motivation/time, etc. But being in the classroom- that's the hard part. You have very little control over those kids. Do some subbing to get an idea of what it's like, first. Volunteering in your kids' classrooms, along side their teacher, does not count. You have to try it on for real. Even subbing does not give you the feel of planning, but it gives you a little idea of what you're up against on your feet. Good luck - [/quote]
