What is B. Ed?

B.Ed. stands for bachelor of education. B.Ed. is the bachelor’s degree undertaken to take up teaching as a profession in schools. However, it is worth knowing that B.Ed or Bachelor of Education is not an undergraduate degree and to pursue this course one needs to have completed his/her graduation. Thus, B.Ed. is a professional course and right after completing this course, students can get a job at school level.

However, it may be noted that those who wish to become school teachers of senior secondary classes need to have a post-graduation degree before pursuing B.Ed.

Importance of B.Ed

Communication

A huge part of teaching is communicating information. It might be verbal, written, or via any other route from practical demonstrations to artistic interpretation – whatever gets your point across.

Patience

People learn at all different rates. If you have to explain something seven times in seven different ways before it sticks, that’s just part of the job. And when faced with challenging behaviour, you need to stay calm and patient and not lose your temper.

Adaptability

Working in teaching can present challenges on a daily basis. Aa certain amount of adaptability is important. You may have a great lesson plan, only to realise you need to switch gears depending on the level of understanding your students have.

Confidence

Children can smell fear… no, just kidding. Confidence helps you when you’re standing up and directing a class, whether your students are kids or adults. A lot of education sector jobs involve public speaking, so confidence is a must.

Dedication

There’s no denying that teaching can be tough at times. If you’re dedicated to helping your students succeed, you’ll be able to keep up your energy levels and avoid getting discouraged.

Leadership

Teachers need to be able to lead a classroom and inspire confidence in their students. They also need to be able to deal with lots of different students with different, and sometimes competing needs.
