Information on the event and how to register
Southern Teachers helps college graduates find great jobs in excellent K-12 schools. We are coming to meet and to talk to Tech students about teaching in college-preparatory, private/independent schools.
The teaching environment in these private/independent schools can be wonderful because of their small class sizes, their college-bound students, and their close-knit communities. At independent schools, quality is not just about test scores and college acceptances; it’s also the unique way that teachers maximize the potential of their students.
ST works with over 650 schools around the South, and they list thousands of jobs with us each year. While successful progress through a teacher-education program is essential for some of these jobs (e.g., for elementary teachers), many positions do not require a teaching certificate. Math majors can be hired to teach math; Spanish majors can teach Spanish, etc. Candidates do, however, need a strong academic record and the personal characteristics that will enable them to manage and motivate K-12 students. To summarize: Teacher certification is not required for most jobs.
GT students and alumni: Susan Belmonte, GT Pre-Teaching Advisor, can assist you with your resume materials for K-12 teaching jobs. sbelmonte@gatech.edu
