introduction
Once poet William Butler remarked, “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. ” very true words never spoken. Different people develop passion for teaching differently. For instance, many students passion for teaching is often ignited by an inspiring teacher who teaches them while others from their parents who are teachers and are prosperous in their carrier.
Personally, my teaching passion started at my tender age . My dad would always tell how I would force my sisters, who were even older than me to sit down while I teach them. Basically, I could teach them the songs taught by my teacher at school with exactness of my teacher’s approaches while teaching us. Education has undergone several transformations to become what it is today.

Importance of education
Tracing its origin from the early ages, education has been an essential part of our lives and through it we have got the insights of living a worth life. Through education, people have learnt on the basics of living a health life as well as being hygienic (Ayers, 2012).
Regardless of different cultures, teachers have a distinct roles in the history of education. It is through them that people get to deeply understand and appreciate their culture a notion that increases their self esteem (Ayers, 2012).
Teaching however does not take only one form, reading and writing, but can take different forms. Initially, it starts at home as it was observed in the early ages. Teaching during those times took place in forms like observation, parenting and oral referencing (Ayers, 2012).
Education origin has its origin traced from early ages
During these periods, the common forms by which it took place were; observations, parenting and oral referencing. However these were not the only forms but the main ones.
From one culture to another, the roles of teachers remain distinct in the history of education.

Modernization vs teaching
Modernization has greatly influenced the way teaching takes place in todays world. Compared to early 1880’s where teachers used to teach students under trees and with very few number of students, the situation is totally different today (Richardson & Watt, 2015)
The reason behind the trend is the improvement in technology and more learning resources. The government has highly invested in the sector of education by building bigger schools and equipping the teachers with all requirements to effect education sector (Richardson & Watt, 2015)
Modern teaching differs largely when compared to the early teaching approach as traced in 1800’s. records show that students used to undertake their studies under trees because of limited resources. This highly limited the number of students to undergo the process
The condition today is totally different as technology has improved and the government invested highly in the sector of education by improvement of learning technology as well as availing more kearning resources

The requirements for teaching career
Like any other career, teaching career has its own requirements set to ensure that the stakeholders in the field are capable of delivering quality content to the learners. Sticking to these minimal requirements has highly enhanced the quality of education in America. A tertiary level education (BA or BS) is a mandatory requirement for any person to qualify as a teacher. With this requirement, the person is therefore required to obtain a teaching permit which is an indication that he/she has been approved as a teacher (Sage & Torp, 2014).
The pathway of this career also has its requirements. A person must be an undergrad and major in subject are (math, science, English or history). Having undertaken a credential program and student teaching of 1-2 years is another pathway requirement of this career (Sage & Torp, 2014).
