If you are a recently certified teacher for the primary education level, the first thing you would probably do is obtaining a teaching job to gain some work experience. A good start would be teaching job at an educational learning center or after school programme, which provides supplemental learning for preschool children and primary school students in the early grades. Many of those programmes are located within the school facilities or in community centers.
Various public school districts in local communities in the United States have carried out after school programmes so that it would not be difficult for you to find educational learning centers in the state where you live. Aside from gaining valuable teaching work experience, there are several advantages or benefits in initially working as a teacher in an after school programme. The settings in the after school programmes are much smaller compared to traditional classrooms so that you would only be teaching a few students.
The curriculum in the programmes consist of simple subject areas such as basic reading, writing and language skills, basic mathematics, arts and crafts, and basic science. In addition, educational games and learning activities are also carried out in the after school programmes that would both be enjoyed by the children and the teachers. Therefore, there is less stress and pressure in working as a teacher in an educational learning center compared to an actual primary school setting. The small setting of the center would enable you to engage in personal or one-on-one interaction with students who may need more attention than other students.
