<p>Okay if the career I want to be is teacher and I plan on doing some teaching EC for volunteering with me leading of course ( about 3 different subjects) and get my community service around teaching in addition to some Honor Societies with me being in the leader post. plus varsity tennis. Does it sound good to Harvard? What am I still lacking in?</p>
<p>I guess that it’s good to be focused, but to get into Harvard, you probably want to either do something revolutionary in the teaching field, or be extremely well rounded. Make sure there’s more depth to your application than a few volunteer teaching positions, or you may have a lot of trouble getting accepted.</p>
<p>You do know there is no undergraduate Education major, don’t you? Not the end of the world, but if you want to teach in public schools you will probably have to take additional courses elsewhere.</p>
<p>There is not an education concentration per se, however, you can work through the UTEP (Undergraduate Teacher Education Program) and that should pretty much give you what you’re looking for:
[FAS</a> Handbook for Students: Chapter 2: Academic Information](<a href=“http://webdocs.registrar.fas.harvard.edu/ugrad_handbook/current/chapter2/UTEP.html]FAS”>http://webdocs.registrar.fas.harvard.edu/ugrad_handbook/current/chapter2/UTEP.html)
Also, concentrations are currently offered in both “Mathematics and Teaching” and “Physics and Teaching” so there is a recent awareness of fusing current fields with education beyond UTEP.</p>
<p>What about I major in psychology and then graduate to teach kids?
Do you know some program called AVID ([Advancement</a> Via Individual Determination (AVID)](<a href=“http://www.pac.dodea.edu/edservices/EducationPrograms/AVID.htm]Advancement”>http://www.pac.dodea.edu/edservices/EducationPrograms/AVID.htm)) ? That’s what I want to teach kids</p>
