Expanding reading: the employment direction of preschool education specialty
Employment direction 1: education and teaching direction
For the small partners of preschool education, being a kindergarten teacher is the most suitable employment direction. The most important thing to be a kindergarten teacher is to like children, be caring, patient and responsible. Teachers should be versatile, such as singing, dancing, playing the piano, art, paper cutting and so on. Natural ability is often a friend's weak skill. I suggest you consciously strengthen your talent performance ability. In addition, friends should have the ability to communicate with children.
Children's teaching has its particularity. It not only undertakes students' teaching work, but also requires teachers to pay attention to students' physical health and psychological changes, such as helping students master some basic life skills such as dressing. Some friends like children and classes, but they don't want to do conservation work, such as taking students to dress, eat and drink, so they can't do preschool education well. It may be a bit difficult for kindergarten teachers to take good care of students while carrying out teaching work, but it is very necessary.
Public kindergartens:
Little friends who want to be kindergarten teachers can go to kindergartens, early education institutions and special interest classes. Public kindergartens need us to prepare for the exam, and undergraduate friends with professional theoretical advantages will feel more smooth in preparing for the written exam. The advantage of public kindergartens is that if they are established, their work will be much more stable, their wages will be significantly higher than those of non-staff personnel, and their welfare will naturally be good. However, the subsequent career development will not change much with the development of seniority and professional title.
Private kindergartens:
In fact, there is a great shortage of teachers in private kindergartens now, and it has a bright future. Now the industry of kindergarten teachers is on the rise. In the future, there will definitely be more private kindergartens to fill the educational vacancies of public kindergartens, and more professional partners will be needed to be kindergarten teachers. Although private kindergartens are not established, better private kindergartens have better development prospects and salary than public schools. Little friends can work in private kindergartens while taking several interested extra-long classes, with good income. If you can teach in a kindergarten, you can develop in the direction of the director.
Direction 2: I am still planning children's publications.
In addition to preschool education, you can also engage in the planning or work of books, newspapers and magazines related to children in the field of education and publishing. This kind of work generally requires the applicant to be a pre-school education major or a graduate of pre-school education major, so friends have professional advantages that most education majors do not have.
This kind of work is mainly the topic selection planning, draft contract, solicitation and publication of preschool teaching materials and children's books. Small partners should find and screen authors, discuss cooperation matters with authors, review manuscripts and ensure that the contents and quality of manuscripts are qualified, and cooperate with marketing planning to complete book promotion, publicity and training activities in the later stage.
Small partners who want to engage in children-related education and publishing should have a solid writing foundation, be good at writing planning and my works, and have a certain understanding of children's development stages. In addition, effective time management ability, good team spirit and team management ability, strong coordination, communication and execution ability are also necessary.
This kind of work also pays more attention to the applicant's experience in preschool education, so friends can also be teachers for two or three years first, and then transfer to my planning work.
Direction 3: Children's Psychological Counseling
Our professional courses also include psychology, early childhood education psychology, child development psychology and so on. Friends who are interested in children's psychology can specialize in children's psychological guidance, and engage in children's psychological guidance in schools, youth activity centers, children's psychological counseling centers, parenting centers, community service institutions, etc.
Children's psychological counseling requires friends to have affinity, good communication skills and strong information capture ability. It is suggested that friends should obtain the qualification certificate of children's psychological counselor first, which will be more beneficial to their work and career development.
