Proceed with caution

This question is a really easy question for me. I would advise anyone replacing me to proceed with caution. Specifically, do not take this position if you are not dedicated to providing exemplary educational opportunities to the student population. Individuals interested in this position should research the position, interview current HSTE instructors and decide if the time commitment associated with CTSO travel is going to present a problem. Although these positions may be sensationalized by the Christmas break, spring break and summers off, this is the hardest job I have ever had. With that said, it is also extremely fulfilling. My advice is primarily for the individual to know themselves well, know what the job requires and most of all---know whether the two will fit well together. That 1 piece of advice will save many nights of turmoil and self conflict.

  1. Hi, Suzette - ditto to everything . . . whoever said that those who can't do, teach, wasn't talking about teachers who take their responsibilities and challenges seriously, am I right? Hopefully your nights of turmoil and self-conflict are over, yes?
