In the public schools, technology education is the subject area that teaches students all about the world of technology and its influences on our modern society. What a wonderful way to prepare America's youth for the technological world of the future. Teaching jobs in technology education are so plentiful that it has been declared an area of critical teacher shortage by the United States Department of Education. Teaching salaries have become more competitive and offer valuable fring benefits such as 100% of the employee's retirement. Teaching technology education is a fun and rewarding career. Many majors go into industry after graduation and experience great success. If you have a bacelor's degree and are interested in teaching technology education, then the graduate program can help you get your teaching license and then your master's degree. If you are currently teaching technology education but are working under a provisional certification or are a "lateral entry" teacher, then the graduate program will help you get that teaching license and then a master's degree. If you hold a bachelor's degree in industrial technology or engineering, or are a licensed science or mathematics teacher, or you are a licensed trade and industrial education teacher, then you may be able to get a teaching position in technology education while you work toward a license in technology education. The technology education graduate program can facilitate this transition for you by providing the necessary courses and then get you on your way to a master's degree in technology education. |
