In today’s increasingly volatile political environment, people of all ages are experiencing uncertainty toward the future. Young people are especially vulnerable to these feelings, as it will someday be their responsibility to take charge of the issues left to them by those before them. As a prospective political science teacher, it will be your job to help today’s youth understand how their government works, so they can in turn gain stronger comprehension of their impact on society, how things have become the way they are, and how they can enact the changes they’d like to see.
You’ve likely endured quite a bit of complex training to make it this far.
Now that you’re nearing the end of your certification training, you’ll have to prove you’ve learned enough to thrive in the educational environment and help your students as thoroughly as possible.
