Chat with Houston teachers for professional wisdom and advice.
Weighing your career options? Determining your professional path is a big decision—one that comes with a lot of questions. Sure, you could do a quick Google search for answers, but why not head to an expert source for information?
TEACH for Houston’s Talk to a Teacher program offers you a chance to do just that. Just sign up with one of our teacher ambassadors to chat via phone or video call. Calls last up to 30 minutes, and you can always sign up for more time. We’ve got some experienced and passionate teachers ready to hear from you.
This is your chance to talk through all of your thoughts, feelings and concerns about teaching with a current educator. Here’s stuff we hear a lot: How do I get started? Will my personality fit in the classroom? What requirements do I need to meet? What is it like to teach, day in and day out?
Our ambassadors get to know your background and goals, and they’ve been in your shoes before. Their advice will help you take the right next step, whatever it is.
Our teacher ambassadors know what you’re going through (after all, they’ve been there before), and they’re excited to chat with you!
