If you're a TEACHER put your hands in the air!

How about social sciences and literature. That is what I teach.

I'm on leave, home with my baby right now, but my current position is teaching 7th grade reading....most favorite age and subject ever.

I've taught middle school and high school German, too.

I heart teaching reading. Love, love, love it. And I love middle school, too. The kids rock.

This year I'm teaching 6th grade sciece and geography. It has proven to be a nice switch thus far.

I teach music at a university known for it's engineering programs - sometimes I feel like a foreigner on my own campus! Today was our first day and it's going to be a FUN year!

The Tour of Missouri will be ending RIGHT IN FRONT of my building again! I get to cancel classes (they use my classroom for the media people) and see the Tour! WOOHOO!! Did I mention that last year several of the cyclists were....uhm....changing clothes and were NAKED in my parking lot (it's where they park the buses) Our secretary is hoping to catch a glimpse this year.

Yeah our upper school cycling team has volunteered to be marshalls for the circuit race in St. Louis. Just to have the air from all those amazing cyclists rush past me will be a thrill!

Middle School Computer Teacher here! (Grades 5-8)

And I LOVE my job. This is my 34th year teaching.

And for the first time, I have also picked up an adjunct faculty position at the local university teaching Algebra 1.

Maybe when I retire from middle school, I wil be able to teach some distance learning courses from home (while still in my pajamas) to college kids.

Sounds good to me!

7th grade science. The kids keep getting promoted but I'm still in the same grade ...

I teach at a good school and have great students and good colleagues, though it can be exhausting at times to keep up with everything.

I teach art and between Art 1 Drawing and Art 2 I have 9th-12th fun fun fun!

I wonder if I could ask an admin to add Kindergarten, preschool and library...

Homeschool. Nine subjects every day (Critical Thinking, Geography, Grammar & Writing, Math, Science, Spelling, Greek & Latin, U.S. History, and World History) -- additional subjects taught on a rotating basis include Meteorology, Astronomy, Oceanography, Spanish, Archaeology & Anthropology, Health, P.E., Art, Environmental Studies, and Penmanship.

Oldest daughter wanted to attend high school, so she's a 9th grader in public school now; youngest daughter is homeschooled and in 6th grade.

I know, some may not think homeschooling qualifies me to consider myself a teacher, but I do. I have a Master's degree (albeit, not in education), I create lesson plans, write supplemental material, teach lessons, grade assignments, etc. It's a 24/7 endeavor in this household. Both girls read at a 12th-grade level in 1st grade; the eldest outscored every student in the corporation but one who took the Indiana Algebra I End-of-Course Assessment last spring. You betcha I teach!!!

For those of you who spend your days in traditional classrooms with 30+ kids from all walks of life, sometimes under less-than-ideal circumstances, you have my utmost respect and admiration!! Truly there is nothing more noble than building character and helping children develop a love of learning. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I know this doesn't officially count for formal schooling, so I didn't answer the poll, but I teach Spinning at my gym. Students 18-70+yo. I love it! It's something I have a passion for and enjoy sharing with others.

It's always been one of my life's dreams to teach at the college level. Applied at community college before. But, no luck. I don't have a formal teaching degree--thinking that's part of it. Just have to keep working at how I can get there.
