How do I become a highschool cosmetology teacher?
I am about to graduate from niagara colleges cosmetology program. It was a 2 year apprenticeship program. I have been working in a salon for just about 3 years and I would like to teach cosmetology at a highschool level but I am unaware of how to go about it.
Would drill instructors make good high school teachers?
Yup! They would probably work best with kids with disipline issues, and probably best at the middle or high school level. Lots of high schools offer ROTC programs, and a military background is great for that.Typically, people with a strong disipline background also make for good administrators, so you may want to consider that too. You’d want to start teaching but immediately start an administration degree as you teach and you could be a top contender.
What is the difference between the teacher and the instructor?
In America, the two words are largely used interchangeably, but there is a difference. Teaching imparts knowledge and instructing imparts skills. Therefore a teacher is one who teaches you about a subject and helps you reach understanding and an instructor is one who instructs you on how to accomplish a task.In reality, quality learning experiences are not simply one or the other, they are a blend of the two. A good teacher will help you to do things with your new knowledge and a good instructor will help you understand what you are doing.
Hackers: Is it possible to hack into a school system and change your grades?
Yes. It is. Many people do it.My professor of Systems Security told us on the first day itself. If you can hack my system and change your grade, you bloody deserve that grade!He also put up a challenge that whoever could hack into the thermostat of the room and change the temperature, he would get an A. (Nobody could)Let me tell you, there are only 17 students in class. The class has a capacity of 35 students for a 4 credit course. (Usually all are 3 credits).The professor doesn’t let any random student enter the course without full check and knowing that he can survive the semester. So there are 17, brightest hackers in the university sitting inside the room and yet nobody could hack into either the professors account or the thermostat.EDIT: I really screwed up two of my midterms and was in 50% of all the class score. Aced the Final and had a decent score in my project. Somehow scored a B+. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯In my undergrad degree, I did hack into a professor’s account but I wouldn’t call it a hack. The professor had saved her password on the browser on the computer she frequently uses. Yea right. Bummer.So for the entire semester, I saw all the emails going through in and out of the account. All soft copies of the tests. I had a good score in that subject.Also, the department had created some local website restricted to college servers and campus. Was on http. Run wireshark/snarf or any network monitoring tool and you know what happens then.Could see everyones id/pass on the network. Kinda fun since many students keep the same password for their gmail/facebook account too. Never did any harm though. Just sent a self email to the accounts that it can be hacked. LOL.
How do I get a LIFE California Community College Instructor Credential?
The California Community College Instructor Credential was previously issued by the State Chancellor’s Office. The credentials are no longer issued. Many community colleges still post in their employment ads that one of the requirements is the credential but usually they will accept other qualifications.Check out the link below. This is the site of the California Community Colleges Registry where you can get more information..
Is it hard to become a college professor/instructor if I just want to teach composition at a community college, not do research anywhere prestigious?
I normally support James Lacey’s answer, but here, he is wrong.The critical issue here is that you “want to teach composition.” If you had said, “teach literature” or just about anything else in the humanities, well, RED FLAG, James is correct. However, the demand for certain fields is insanely high. Those fields include:Almost anything practical on a computerAccountingStatisticsRhetoric and compositionMany more people get PhDs in literature than there are jobs. In a study that was problematic but ultimately made a good point, in one specific (recent) year, 800 PhDs were granted in German language and literature, and there were 8 permanent faculty job openings.However, most people don’t want to get a PhD in composition and rhetoric. They don’t want to teach composition. By my estimate, our two-semester freshman composition sequence accounts for almost half of the credits granted by our English and Communications department in a given year. We tried to hire recently for a pure composition position (tenure-track) that would teach writing almost exclusively, and couldn’t fill the position. There aren’t enough people and too many other schools want someone like that.Get a PhD in a composition-focused program. Get some experience teaching. Focus on rhetoric and/or composition for your research. I can’t guarantee you a job by a long shot, but in the humanities, it’s probably the single best bet.EDIT: I just ran across this on Chronicle: What We Hire in Now: English by the Grim Numbers. It turns out that composition is the top area for hiring, with about 1/4 of all jobs.
What is the polite way to address a university instructor who is not a professor?
As a graduate student instructor, I always tell my students to call me by my first name. If an instructor has told you how to address him or her, you should obviously abide by his or her wishes. Otherwise, err on the side of being more formal.Occasionally, students will address me in other ways. If a student addresses me as "Mr. Merberg" it seems weirdly formal, but I understand that the student is just trying to be polite. When a student addresses me as "Professor Merberg" they start to seem out of touch because I'm not a professor (and my job is one that profs don't do). Even so, it's not a big deal. I understand that the intentions are good. However, I once got an email from a student addressing me simply as "Merberg", which was weird. I'm not offended, but I have to wonder what the student was going for there. I would discourage people from addressing instructors by last name only, unless the instructor has asked to be addressed that way.
