Education & Career

If death and taxes are two things you can count on, jobs in education might be a close third. While every industry has been shaken by the financial earthquakes (and volcanoes and tsunamis) of the past 16 months, education has always been one to turn to for stability, longevity, and growth.

But what if you can’t imagine yourself in the front of a classroom? Besides teaching history to high schoolers and art to elementary students, there are a range of careers in the education industry that fit every personality type. Read on to find out more about education jobs (and how to earn the degree you need to get started).

If you’re good with young children…
Become an early childhood educator
More and more parents are starting their children’s education early, which means there are great opportunities for early childhood educators (also known as pre-school teachers). The U.S. Department of Labor is expecting 19% growth in this career though 2018. This job not only provides a steady income, but a chance to help develop and shape a young child’s education.

If you like helping people…
Become a school counselor
Teachers often have their hands full developing lesson plans and grading papers, so school counselors are the ones students can turn to if they’re having problems in school, with friends, or at home. And counselors don’t just wait for students to come to them; they take an active role in developing appropriate programming, monitoring student’s progress, and stepping in when something, either at school or at home, isn’t right.

If you like to be the boss…
Become a school administrator
There’s a lot more to any school than report cards and ABC’s. There’s someone who’s running the show-from developing educational policies to hiring teachers to enforcing school security and safety. That person is a school administrator. If you’re passionate about promoting education from an administrative end, this job might be right for you.

If you want to help those with special needs…
Become a special education teacher
Medical advancement and breakthroughs have allowed doctors and educators to diagnose learning disabilities much earlier than in the past. This means students are getting the help they need earlier on, which is driving the need for special education teachers. As a special education teacher, you’ll help students with mental, developmental, physical and emotional challenges learn and succeed in school.

If you’ve got a unique skill to teach…
Become a vocational teacher
Vocational teachers don’t just teach shop these days. From business and marketing to personal finance to health, today’s vocational teachers give students the skills they need to start their own business, take control of their finances, or maintain their health.

March Madness Basketball



Contributed by Stefani M. Crumley of GlaxoSmithKline



During the week of the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament we did a day of activities. We asked employees to wear a shirt supporting their favorite team.



Using a kiddie basketball hoop we had a waste basket basketball contest. (paper rolled up in

balls had to be thrown into a waste basket).



You can be creative with any prizes you want to give out.

Hi %$firstname$% -



Does procrastination cause trouble in your life? Have you lost jobs,  missed appointments, and maybe even ruined relationships, because of your tendency to procrastinate?



You know, admitting you have a problem is the first step towards your recovery.

Honestly, don’t you wish there was Procrastinators Anonymous? You could go and talk to other procrastinators, work a 12 step program and develop into someone who consistently finishes projects on time.



Seriously though, a little knowledge is powerful and it may help you to know that you procrastinate to avoid tension. If you are overwhelmed, insecure about a project, too detail oriented, or just plain bored with a task, your habit of relieving the tension is to avoid the task all together.



Unfortunately, that creates a whole different reason to be tense. So what can you do?



One thing you can do is plan in reverse.

Many people set goals but don’t have a plan. Start by thinking of what you want your outcome to be, then work your way backwards.

Ask yourself, “What needs to happen just before completion?”

Then, “What needs to happen before that?”

Go all the way back to the present moment. By doing this, you are automatically creating a plan. The key is that you are telling yourself ahead of time that it is all in small parts. 

This may not cure you of procrastination, but it’s a great start. This technique is one of several effective ways for you and your employees to stop procrastinating.



Procrastination is so damaging that…

“Stop Procrastinating, Now!” is one of the 13 essential tools in the Employee Success Toolkit.

The Employee Success Toolkit is
a professional development course for employees in 13 easy-to-follow
lessons. It is a system guaranteed to improve attitude, skills, and
productivity.

The ultimate goal of any supervisor is to turn ordinary workers into extraordinary employees.

If you want…



- Employees to manage their time efficiently.



- Respect and a better understanding of co-workers with different backgrounds or cultures



- Employees having fun at work while achieving their goals
