Meet a Team Leader

Get Flash Player to see this content.

Team Leaders experience personal growth. Gain confidence in the classroom. Strengthen your abilities to communicate, to manage, and to think creatively—talents essential to any endeavor. At age 40, John is pursuing a new career as a teacher–a major switch from his past job as a stockbroker. He’s planning to get his Master’s degree in education, and then teach history. His inspiration? His mother-in-law, a veteran teacher. “Working as a Team Leader has been very, very rewarding,” John says. “It gave me confidence that I could be a good teacher and enjoy it as well. I have always had fun interacting with kids, but our rapport developed more quickly than I anticipated. Honesty and humor were key. I still have a way to go, but the basics of a good teacher are in me.”
