Top 10 Ways to Get Fired from Your Teaching Job...

Most teachers get into education thinking it can be a really secure job, right? Depends. Teachers have to follow rules, too. And these ten actions can get you fired faster than you think.

These actions are:
1. Lie on Your Application or Resume- most states have teacher credentials/qualifications.

2. Job Hunt at Work- while at work, focus on your students.

3. Gossip- Don't gossip about a student's abilities or another teacher's skills.

4. Taking Too Many Personal Calls- return calls before or after school hours, unless an emergency.

5. Surf the Web Excessively- use computers for lesson plans,recording grades,searching learning web sites

6. Alienate Your Coworkers- Teaching is a team sport. Don't be difficult with faculty members.

7. Forget to Double Check Grades- grades are serious business, they are recorded evidence of graded work

8. Mixing Personal and Professional Life- be friendly with parents,but not too extremely social.

9. Unbecoming Behavior- States have Professional Code of Ethics for Teachers; find out what they are.

10. Too Many Missed Days of Work-  if you are sick, make sure you get a Drs. note.
