Things for a college student to do in the summer?

Summer opportunities for student teachers?

• Currently i am a college student majoring in Early Childhood Education. I will be graduating in December of 2012. I would love to find something that I could do during the summer, whether it's teaching abroad or somewhere else in the US. I want to get a better perspective on education and see how things are in other parts of the country or world. So my question is, what are some things that I could do? THANKS!

• Answer:

  Hey, It's great that you're thinking of teaching overseas, have you ever heard of a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) qualification? It is perfect for someone in your situation, especially seeing as though you will have a degree under your belt too. You don't need to speak any other languages or have any previous teaching experience, just to be a fluent English speaker! A TEFL qualification (along with a degree) enables you to immerse yourself in cultures around the world and experience something new and exciting! TEFL courses are convenient and straightforward to complete and can even be taken online in your own time.
