What You'll Do: The job generally entails: making lesson plans, lecturing on a specific subject area such as history or US government, giving students special projects, grading homework and other assignments, evaluating student progress by giving oral and written exams, speaking to parents about their child's progress and figuring out a way to improve student performance, meeting individually with students to provide extra help, preparing students to take standardized exams, coming up with classroom rules, enforcing classroom and school rules, providing general supervision of students while in class, attending faculty meetings, going to special school events and more.

Most middle school teachers work in a public or private learning institution during regular school hours. Staying after classes is sometimes necessary for meeting with students, parents, faculty, or for special events. While the job can be very rewarding, you may have to deal with the stress of disrespectful students, pressure to perform, and workplace politics.

Education and Training: Middle school teachers must have a bachelor's degree in elementary education or a subject area such as English or art. In addition to a concentrating on your preferred content area, you will take courses in child psychology, teaching methods, public speaking and more. Before the four years are over, you will have to participate in supervised teaching sessions. These experiential portions will help to build your confidence and enhance your skill set.

After graduation, licensure is required if you plan on teaching at a public school. Passing a certification test and receiving ongoing education are two of the major requirements.

Some individuals go on to obtain a master's degree for better pay and more job opportunities, but many employers do not require it.

The Future: The Middle School Teaching profession is expected to grow at about 17% through 2020.

The Pay: Annual salaries for teachers in middle schools in the U.S. range from $34,900 to $80,900, with the average median annual wage hitting $53,400 in 2012 as per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
