For a while I have been toying with the idea of going back to school to get my teaching credentials. (Mom I know that you told me a long time ago to get it while I got my bachelors, yep you were right) For the longest time I have thought that maybe just maybe I had a different calling than a S.A.C. (Sexual Assault Counselor) but that I was meant to be with (wait for it) teenagers. They do at times annoy me but what if I had something to teach them, show them or MOLD them into the people they were meant to be. If I had a chance to help them succeed even if it was for one year. I could be the teacher that made a difference to at least one student that would make all the difference.
Now what to teach you ask? Well I was thinking about it for a bit and I have a degree in Criminal Justice and a passion for photography. I still have all my text books from my college years. So hence the idea of teaching private school. Not that I don't love public school I mean that is where I learned and grew.
Would it be challenging? Absolutely. Do I have a passion for it? Absolutely. The curriculum would be different and to find a school that is willing to give a NEW teacher a shot at something they do not have already is for sure a LONG SHOT. But what if I could do this. I would love to teach the fundamentals of criminal justice and not the crap that is HOLLYWOOD. But the real essence of our justice system. That yes a criminal is innocent till proven guilty or are they? Take field trips to court rooms, have them interview lawyers, Police Officers, Judges, see what its like in a precinct, etc. I would love to teach the fundamentals and then some. Exploring the world of forensics, photography, crime scenes and looking at the world of criminals and how their environment molded who they became.
I realize that its all modern what I want to teach and would have to play it to the board of ed and school it self. But how much fun would class be each day exploring the world of Criminalogy.
Would love feedback and any suggestions.
