For people who have taught during both locations, what have been a little of a differences as well as pros/cons about training during a village college as well as training during a tall school?
I’ve taught English as well as Humanities during village colleges, as well as we now learn facile propagandize song during a in isolation school. But I’ve never taught English during a HS turn as well as wish to know a ups as well as downs.
Thanks!
Thanks for all a answers so far! we goal they keep coming!
For those who asked, there were ups as well as downs training during a CC, though altogether we enjoyed it. Main complaint is that we usually landed accessory (part time) positions, that suggest distressing compensate as well as no benefits (it’s really formidable to get a full-time tenured position). Pretty most all of my students with partial time jobs during a mall were creation some-more income than we was. You can’t live off a income of adjuncting.

teaching in a community college is better because the people there actually want to learn because its optional.. high school isnt optional and some kids dont want to learn so they just slack off… take my advice and stick with community colleges.. you do like it there.. dont you??
Well i am only in middle school but i think that if you have taught college then you should not have a problem teaching high school because really everything is the same but the curriculum changes a little bit well not a little maybe a lot i mean i am sure when you apply and see the curriculum it should quite simple i mean just flow with follow the curriculum and help as many people as possible i hope i have answered your question
Good luck! College age kids want to be there for one reason or another but high school kid have to be there. There are many great students and I hope you get those but watch out for the hardended ones. It can be scarely. I was told to never walk inside of the high school alone at one time because the kids were jumping teachers and the principals! That was in a mid sized town and the only high school. Best wishes because the kids who want to learn will benfit from your experience.
My son says, the only difference is that cc has ash trays!
I haven’t taught at the community college level but I have worked with students at the master’s level and I have taught high school English.
One of the limits of teaching at a community college, I would imagine, would be that your students come from a vast array of life experiences and skills; however, if done right, this is also the best thing.
I taught in a fairly homogenous population in a small town– most of the students had gone to the same elementary schools and junior highs, so most of the students already knew each other. Unlike community college or post secondary education, where students have to pay for their education, they are required to be at the public high school, and have a wide array of motivation, but tend to have similar skill sets and life experiences. This isn’t so great if you want your classroom to thrive around group discussions and you don’t have any dissenting viewpoints on issues, but it is helpful if you want to have a well structured year, in which you know the skills your students need to learn for their next school year and for life outside of school. Sometimes my students were moody, sometimes they were completely disinterested, and sometimes, they judged me for not wearing the same clothing labels they were (think abercrombie vs. target), but they were often very perceptive, interested in current events, and willing to trust that everything I was having them do had a point and a purpose.
It depends on the high school
I currently teach at a public high school and used to be an administrator at a private junior college, similar to community college.
The biggest difference is that high school kids who aren’t motivated are your job to teach anyway. You can’t just shrug them off and let them fail (at least not if you’re a good teacher). At any college, you can try as much as you’re willing to, but iltimately the student is an adult going to make his own choices and his parents are not likely to step in and support you.
On the positive side of community college, many of those students are investing their own money in that education and that motivates many of them to succeed.
Best wishes.
