What Gymnasium Teacher skills would you recommend for someone trying to advance their career?
Jessica Espinosa Ph.D.: As a graduate starting your career in the field of education, it's crucial to focus on continuous learning and development. Reflect on your experiences, both inside and outside of classrooms, to adapt and improve your teaching strategies. Engage actively in professional communities, such as the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), to stay updated on best practices and build your network. Emphasize the importance of mentorship and collaboration. Lastly, remain passionate about your role in shaping future generations and stay committed to promoting an inclusive and supportive learning environment for all students.

Dance
What will help Gymnasium Teachers increase their earning potential?
Sarah Wilbur Ph.D.: To work in dance, in my experience and in my research, is to work in a *number of jobs*, in a *number of diverse roles,* and in a *number of relationships* to industries, cultures, and publics. In a field as unstandardize-able as this one, my very best advice for someone who has successfully pursued an academic dance credential and has graduated from the US university is for them to become a passionate, lifelong student of dance history, dance labor, and dance value across all kinds of fields. There are very few promised jobs, and even fewer shortcuts. This reality is why people flock to more economically stable (and sometimes soul killing) lines of work, in the US.

What are the biggest trends we'll see in the Gymnasium Teacher job market given the pandemic?
Terry Chvala: 1. Nationwide (not locally): In certain parts of the country where education is highly valued, and pay is aligned with that value, there is a growing trend that requires all teachers to have a Master's Degree to teach in the public schools. (This is not trending in TX or in our local Houston region).
2. Blended learning
3. Personalized learning
4. Covid-19 related trends:
-self care
-connecting students to learning in new ways
-how to reach and engage students in online and blended learning
What skills stand out on Gymnasium Teacher resumes?
Terry Chvala: Growing trend in "soft marketable skills," professional dispositions (body language, active listening, confidence, modeling professional attributes, etc.) (some more so due to Covid, but will continue to be skills that are sought after).
Are there any particularly good places in the United States for Gymnasium Teachers to find work opportunities?
Terry Chvala: Although oil & gas continue to suffer locally and regionally, there is still a growing trend that people continue to move to Texas. So this area continues to be a positive job market for educators and other industry. Most area school districts have become fairly competitive (with each other, but nowhere near northern and northeastern states and many others) on their starting teacher pay.

What are the biggest trends we'll see in the Gymnasium Teacher job market given the pandemic?
Lisa Diebel: I expect my current FCS teacher education student to have at least one teaching offer, if not multiple requests, at the end of the spring semester. Two of my community leadership students, who graduate this weekend, have reasonable job offers. One at a hospital daycare center as an assistant teacher and another at a local grocery market as a manager. Much to my delight, the pandemic has not stopped their ability to move forward.
What skills stand out on Gymnasium Teacher resumes?
Lisa Diebel: I think when you can show experiential experiences and an internship, you will stand out. An error-free resume is also critical.
Are there any particularly good places in the United States for Gymnasium Teachers to find work opportunities?
Lisa Diebel: I think FCS, ED, and CL graduates will successfully find employment anywhere in the US. An FCS degree offers a lot of versatility.
