How to become a teacher in the first place?

To become a teacher at a kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, high school, or special needs school, you need a teacher's license, and in order to obtain that license, you will take a teaching profession course at the university.
In addition, if you take the teacher employment selection test conducted by prefectures and ordinance-designated cities (school corporations in the case of private schools) and pass it, you will be hired by teachers.

The opportunity to become a teacher

I met my teacher who taught me how wonderful it is to work hard and how fun it is to interact with my colleagues, and I wanted to be like a teacher.
Meeting my teacher made it fun to go to school. This was the first time I was scolded severely, but I was told that the teacher was seriously facing me, and I felt like trying harder.

What I worked on to become a teacher after enrollment

As people say, "Education is a person," I thought that the relationship between people was important, and wanted to gain experience in actually interacting with children, so I started working part-time as a school child. As I met various children, I was deeply moved and grew up. At the same time, I was able to see many issues and feel the difficulty of education again. I have gradually become able to deal with various problems and how to convey it to children.

Using the teaching profession center

In addition to the polite guidance of the teachers, he always gave me words of encouragement, and after using it, I felt like "Let's do our best!"
Every time I went to the teaching profession center, I learned and discovered a lot, which led to my own growth.

Aim to be a teacher

I really enjoyed studying to make my dreams come true. I think I was really happy to learn while working hard with colleagues who have the same dreams at university. I am deeply grateful to my teachers and family.

The opportunity to become a teacher

My encounter with an English teacher when I was in junior high school made me want to become a teacher. When I was a high school student, I think I naturally thought about the path to becoming a teacher and focused on learning English. By the time I took the university entrance exam, I had already selected an undergraduate school with a view to obtaining an English teacher's license.

What I learned in the practical training

The training was difficult, but it was a more enjoyable and fulfilling three weeks.
I learned that it is important to prepare a wide range of things, such as not only preparing answers but also assuming supplementary explanations of parts that are likely to be mistaken, while valuing students' learning and questions such as "why?" And "why?" ..

Points devised to balance one's own department and the teaching profession course

It was difficult to acquire the required number of credits in each semester. We made a solid plan and worked on it so that we could digest each and every task that comes up in each class.
I frequently checked the progress and deadline of the submitted assignments with my friends in the same department who are taking the teaching profession, and made effective use of the commuting time by train.

I'm glad I took the teaching profession

Throughout the four years, my English ability has improved dramatically. With the number of English conversations and presentations in English, I became able to speak in public with confidence.
In addition, in the compulsory lecture, the native teacher had the opportunity to speak in English about overseas educational situations and educational issues, which helped to deepen the understanding of Japanese education.

Message

The "teaching profession course" where you can learn deeply about education is valuable learning not only for those who aim to be teachers but also for those who are interested in educational companies and services.
