Choosen Collected Links

Davies, Candace. "Teacher Interview Questions." http://resumes-for-teachers.com/news/education-interview-questions.htm • N.P. Web. 5 Apr 2010.
The reason why I picked this website is because it would help me get ideas to go and interview a teacher and to see where how I can be a really good teacher. I would use this in my research paper because I would write about how teachers should have their classrooms and how you should teach elementary kids and what is the controversy that even though teachers do not get paid enough should people think not to teach kids.

Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2010-11 Edition, Teachers—Kindergarten, Elementary, Middle, and Secondary, on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos318.htm (visited April 05, 2010).
The reason why I picked this article was the fact that it gave a lot of links to finding out how much teachers are getting paid. It gave a lot of facts at why teachers love to teach. It gave a chart and I will be using that chart to back up the fact that even though teachers do not get paid enough at least they love their jobs and they do want to help kids out with their education.

"Teacher Magazine." Web http://www.edweek.org/tm/section/blogs/index.html. 7 Apr 2010

The reason why I picked this blog was the fact that you could read how so many different teachers teach their kids. I could also get ideas on how to handle the kids without getting stressed yourself. I could also see different teaching techniques that the teachers use on their students. I could also write about how teachers love their jobs despite the fact that they are not getting paid enough.
"Payscale-Elementry School." (2010): n. pg. Web. 7 Apr 2010. .
I picked this article because I could see more charts of the pay scale and I also learned more about elementary teachers and teachers deal with the salary and how they still believe that teaching is a dream job. How teachers love to teach despite the pay.

The reason why picked these links is because I think they could help me understand what I will be going through in classrooms especially with kids. I think they could help with the knowledge on how to be a good teacher and how to help the students. I also could get ideas on what to ask for when I interview a teacher at Miller Valley Middle School. I could also see how much the teachers get paid even though I am in this career because I love kids and it is not always about the money it is about helping the future generation.

topic proposal
I want to be an elementary teacher, even though some people may think the pay is not all that great and it is not that exciting of a career. I think that teaching students who are young may get a lot more because they are more willing to learn than let's say a fifth grader. I feel that the students may have a better experience if somebody is willing to take the time to teach and still make it fun for them to learn.People today want to take certain things out of schools like art and some of our history. I feel that our history is what made our country that it is today. And without art how could we have buildings like some of the Cathlic churches or some of these sculptures that you see. Math, English and some of our other subjects deal with art and history. So if they do take those things out of schools I feel that somebody needs to teach the kids some of these things no matter what.I love kids. I think each individual has something to offer. Some may not know their talents whereas others do. I feel that if you teach kids anything and everything that they could possibly learn, I feel that it would boost up their confidence and they can see that they can do anything if they put their minds to it.
