I think any career transition is difficult. The ones who do it successfully are the ones who transition in their I’m still moldable 20’s or the I don’t give 2F’s I’m doing it for the cheap insurance late 50s.

Switching careers is very difficult for most people for the same reasons a mid career teacher moving out would flounder and probably fail in the corporate world.

Teaching is a job just like any other job. Period.

I just moved out of teaching into a corporate job and it’s so much easier. You’re off the mark.

+1, 15K more in pay and about 1/2 the work. I’ve had many days where I’ve worked for an hour or so, replied to some emails, touched base with some co-workers, maybe attended a meeting where no new tasks were assigned, took a 30-60 minutes lunch, and then pretend the work for a few hours.

Troll. This is what teachers think "corporate jobs" are like, not realizing that we don't all have the same job and our jobs are also very demanding, just in a different way from yours.

It is for some people. I’m a teacher and my husband “works” about 4 solid hours a day. The rest is “being around” to support the people on his team if they need it.

I observed a relative in a meeting. It seemed like everything was 'Next up on the agenda is X. We will cover this at the meeting on date Y.

You're absolutely right. Teachers have the hardest jobs in the whole universe.

Teacher trainee is the new name for Teacher Resident. No experience or Praxis II required.

If it’s the same program, they have one year to satisfy the requirements for a license. Praxis and classes.

Looks to be the same program.

New teacher trainees should be required take the Praxis II exam at the start of the year.

What is the praxis II? I am Elementary and licensed in Virginia in the last few years and had to take the multiple subjects and teaching reading test. I did not even see a praxis II.

For MS and HS: Praxis II is the subject area test for the teacher - pass score requirement to show content knowledge for the class.

ETS has Praxis tests for ES, MS, and HS. Some teachers call the ES test Praxis and call subject area Praxis: "Praxis 2". Trainees should be made to take the Praxis or subject area Praxis at the start of the year. Last year was a mess.

Yes I got it. I was just saying that “praxis II” or whatever you want to call it is not required for elementary.

Requesting it at the beginning is tricky because of testing availability and the praxis subject areas are lengthy.

I think PP primarily means they would take it prior to teaching/being hired. That it is the most important criteria. Many Praxis II tests can be done virtually at home versus one. Many of us took them at a testing center.

+ 1

There is virtual at home testing and testing center option available to take the Praxis in the summer or in September.

Not positive, but probably by the end date of their provisional license - June 30
