[quote=Anonymous]I would have her do informational interviews with teachers, heads of school/admin, and other related specialties in the field, including education-focused nonprofits/foundations, legislative folks, and college professors in schools of education. No need to thwart her dreams but just help her realize the many possibilities to do great work in education. Also just have a non-emotional look at cost of living issues and budgeting for the DC market so her eyes are open and she is grounded in reality. If she pursues education at the university level, send her to a place that is doing cutting-edge research in the field. If she is motivated and high-performing, opportunities may well open up for her. Also- Lots of top liberal arts schools feed into private schools for secondary level teaching gigs if that is the path you think she may ultimately pursue. [/quote]
