教育是教学的职业。老师充当教练，利用交互式讨论和“动手实践”方法来帮助学生学习和应用科学，数学或英语等学科的概念。他们为学生提供学习抽象概念，解决问题和发展批判性思维过程的工具和环境。中学教育的教学重点是七至十二年级。中学老师帮助学生更深入地研究小学和中学开设的科目，并继续向他们提供有关世界的更多信息。中学教师专注于特定主题，例如英语，西班牙语，数学，历史或生物学。
Education is the profession of teaching. Teachers act as coaches, using interactive discussions and ''hands-on'' approaches to help students learn and apply concepts in subjects such as science, mathematics or English. They provide the tools and the environment for their students to learn abstract concepts, solve problems and develop critical thought processes. Secondary education is teaching that concentrates on grades seven through twelve. Secondary school teachers help students delve even more deeply into subjects introduced in elementary and middle school, and continue exposing them to more information about the world. Secondary school teachers specialize in a specific subject, such as English, Spanish, mathematics, history or biology.
