I am a current student at the University of Florida, and am in need of some help for a class! I need a real secondary school teacher to fill out the following quick questions: 1. Other than time spent during the school day, how many hours do you spend preparing for school? 2. What advice do you have for a future teacher? 3. What is the most difficult part of your job? 4. What is the most rewarding part of your job? I would then need you name and school to include in my career interview assignment.

Is there some post grad course I could do to become a construction teacher. I would be willing to go over to the Uk for a while if thats what it took. This really is the only job I want to do so if you know of any way of making it possible I would really appreciate your help. Thanks!

I was looking at the Australian government's immigration website, and Secondary School Teacher is on the Skilled Occupation List, but I'm sure the certification of a secondary school teacher is different in Australia than it is in the United States. How would a secondary school teacher with a degree from an American university become certified to teach in Australia?

I've worked in Turkey as an English as a foreign language teacher for the last two years and I'm about to return to my home country, Australia. I'm at a loss about what to do as a job when I return. I have an Arts degree, and I'd really like to continue teaching, but not as a primary/secondary school teacher. Any suggestions?

On the secondary level, I think that English teachers work the most hours (due to all of the essays and papers that they have to grade) versus any other type of public secondary school teacher. Who agrees? What type of teacher works the least amount of hours? Why don't they pay English teachers more than say, a P.E. teacher? I am talking about hours outside of contract hours that are NOT paid. I am not talking about teachers who take up extracurricular activities like coaching or clubs because most of those activities provide the teacher a stipend.
