Thanks for your comment Lorisa. I’m sorry that I don’t know much about getting into a public school system. I think I’d start out with informational interviews with a few key people. It’s possible that the curriculum development office will use instructional designers. Best wishes for fulfilling your dreams. I’m sure you will, even if they end up different than you originally envisioned.

I am currently a corporate training specialist and my sole responsibility is to facilitate material created by our ID team to Associates within the organization. I entered the field of training as a SME. Now that I’m in the field my desire is take my skills incorporate it into online learning environment. I enjoyed this post because it gave me ideas of other areas I may seek employment once I complete my degree plan and my skill set as designer is sufficient. At this point, new in the area of ID, my dream is to work within the public school district and assist in developing material for children that need additional help in math or reading. Since our classrooms are max at 30+ students and one teacher, I feel those that are struggling in math and reading may not get enough time to meet district and state standards to move to the next level. My only challenge of finding employment in this field; Instructional Designers in public school are required to be a teacher prior to a curriculum designer. If this site is still monitored, can you recommend some ways I can get my foot in the door without being a teacher first?
