Welcome to the ProfessionDoor
Student Teachers, this area has been designed to introduce you to the profession. The teaching profession requires leadership, integrity, dedication and a host of management skills.

The U.S. Department of Labor provides a description of the educational services industry including training requirements, salaries, working conditions and the industry outlook.

New standards recently released by NCATE require that education schools be able to show evidence that their graduates can successfully teach children before gaining accreditation.

Choosing a School of Education
The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) has developed nine questions for evaluating a school of education.
