How should students majoring in preschool education plan their career?

Under the direction of preschool education, career planning has two directions: kindergarten education operation and management, and education industry operation.

Simply put, there are two ways:

1, go to kindergarten as a teacher. Then he climbed steadily, and finally one day he became a director, went to the peak of his life and married Bai. ......

2. Go to work in various educational institutions and related industrial companies and engage in industry-related work. For example, it is as small as making picture books, toys, educational apps, and as large as opening early education training institutions and children's products. In short, anything related to preschool education can be done except being a teacher.

What's the difference between being a teacher and being an industry? Being a teacher means doing academic work, designing various courses and having fun with children every day. Doing business is to enter a company and design toys, picture books or other educational products.

-I want to be a teacher, ok, but I have to do it in these three places: 1, public kindergarten 2, private kindergarten 3, for-profit early education institutions.

What's the difference between these three places?

In fact, there is not much difference between being a teacher in these three places. One is that the education method is different, which kindergarten uses Montessori or Waldorf, which institution uses multiple intelligences or something, depending on which method you agree with; What kind of lifestyle do you like? In kindergarten, you play with your children from 8 to 5 every day. During the winter and summer vacations, your professional job is to design various courses, educate children, do a good job in family education, and make a good family contact list. In institutions, different early education institutions have different ways of working, but they can't do without one thing, that is, you should always deal with children and be with them.

How to plan to be a teacher?

Specifically, you must get "two certificates+Putonghua certificate+teacher qualification certificate" before graduating from senior year. These three certificates are necessary, and only these three certificates can you go to kindergarten as a teacher. There are also many "nutritionist certificates", "sensory integration trainers" and so on. According to what you come into contact with, these certificates are the things that can give you gold, depending on your own needs.

In addition to these visible hard indicators, the rest is our professional knowledge. What is Montessori? What is Waldorf? What is multiple intelligences? Child psychology? Child behavior counseling? Nutrition? Emergency?

These are all the professional knowledge you need as a teacher. These things are actually not ethereal at all. They are really what you need every day, because you have to design courses for your children every semester or even every day. When a child has behavior problems, you should have professional knowledge for counseling; How to give children life education, gratitude education, moral education, health education, etc. Everyone needs your professional knowledge to give children a better education and let them grow up better. So what you have to do is to understand this knowledge and apply it. I don't know if you are on probation now. We went to kindergarten one day a week from the second year of high school, contacted kindergartens and children, and learned what teachers usually need to do, how to attend classes and so on.

After you become a kindergarten teacher, you should continue to research, such as "Primary School Teacher", "... Super Teacher" ... and so on. The more "certificates" there are, the more salaries there will be, so teachers' salaries will be higher than those of directors, because kindergartens are not paid according to their grades.

However, in any industry, if you want to go far and go high, you need more than just your professional knowledge or achievements. On the one hand, the higher you go, the more things you will contact. So suppose that after you become the head of a kindergarten, you need to manage the whole kindergarten, and you need to know how the kindergarten works, how all departments of the kindergarten work, the management of teachers' work and so on.

Ideally, the career path of kindergarten teachers is:

Assistant head teacher-(1-2 years later+excellent work on weekdays)-main head teacher-(2-5 years later+excellent work on weekdays)-grade director or teaching director-(5-10 years later+excellent work on weekdays+good contacts)-vice president of the school.

-I want to be an industry. Well, the industry is making toys, picture books, designing educational apps, various educational games, and so on.

Since the place where I work in industry is definitely not a kindergarten, I don't know much about it myself. Now I just interviewed an educational institution like this. There are several departments under them, some specialize in developing games, some specialize in making toys, and some have eight kindergartens, and then design and develop various courses. At present, I don't know much about such specialized educational institutions, but I know that being a teacher with you will be completely different.

My idea is that you need to touch many things, such as product design, marketing, advertising, e-commerce, technology that can be applied to toys, high technology and so on. Depending on what you do, you need more than just other pre-school knowledge.
