Saw my daughter's teacher from last year at the gas station and threw $50 on her tank yesterday. Made me wonder how often they get small perks outside of the job like that.

I just finished my Bachelor's in Music Education in December and applied for my teaching license last friday. I sub from time to time. I only have experience being a substitute and student teaching. I've seen things though

How did you all become teachers? Is there a great grad school for teachers?

As a male teacher, you have to distance yourself from female students. Everytime I'm at a school the girls develop a crush on me and I have to ignore it. "Mr. Playplayaj Keysha likes you!!" 
and they always ask for hugs. No touching policy
wont have me talking to

sometimes parents give gift cards at Christmas. some apartment complexes have preferred employers that includes teachers and you get a few percentage points off. there's the good neighbor program for firefighters, nurses, and teachers. 50% off of HUD homes if you live there for 3 years.

1. State approved Teacher Education program
2. Pass you certification tests........Praxis 1, Praxis 2 (Hard for my area
)3. Yes there are grad schools. Depends on what you want to teach and what grade(s)

That's why I couldn't be a teacherAs a male teacher, you have to distance yourself from female students. Everytime I'm at a school the girls develop a crush on me and I have to ignore it. "Mr. Moore , Keysha likes you!!"
I did lateral entry.
NC is a lateral entry state.
If you're in a lateral entry state you just need a bachelor's in anything, then take the required test for the subject area (praxis, sometimes pearson or others) and they give you a temporary 3 year license.
During the 3 years you have to take certain coursework related to your license. I had to take 7 courses.
There's also Teach for America and The New Teacher Project.
Not sure about the great grad schools. I would assume any credible university is good enough. I took courses at UNC Charlotte.
