I want to be more specific here and ask what would you say to a new young teacher getting into the profession as far as the planning of retirement? What they should do now (when they begin teaching) for the future? Any special programs given to teachers as far as home buying, loans, and anything of the sort?
Should the new teacher do anything as far as education to further their wage, etc.?What advice do any veteran teachers have for the new teacher?
Good for you - I wish I had started sooner.
My union (in New Zealand) has a retirement saving scheme that we can pay into straight from our paycheck. The government matches contributions up to 3%.
Check with your district and your union to see if there is anything like that.
I don't know of any programs such as you list for help with home buying etc. Wouldn't that be nice!
At the moment in the US, pay increases are linked to education. This may not always be the case, but it is always useful to learn more as a teacher.What advice do any veteran teachers have for the new teacher?
dont become one
