Isn’t each subject taught in a different way?

Perhaps. However, you can adjust your teaching to the audience and to your job.

You can bone up on just about any subject, or even learn it from scratch, in order to teach it. That's part of the teacher's job. Your efforts will ultimately turn you into a wiser and more interesting person.

However, in the short run, it may involve a great deal of extra work and preparation on your part.

Once you are knowledgeable in the subject area, you will have to find ways to make it relevant and exciting to the students, and you will have to determine ways to teach it.

• Speak to others in the field
• Check the Internet for posted lesson plans and syllabi
• Ask your local board of education for a document stipulating the class requirements
• Check standardized tests to determine what is expected of the students
• Speak to students who have taken that course recently
