[quote=Anonymous]Pay them more money, stop expecting them to do things besides teach, increase classroom aides or decrease class sizes, give teacher some control over curriculum they use, pair students together with like students so teachers aren’t teaching 3 or 4 different levels in one class and neglecting to give any of them a decent education, get parents more involved. Also open the door to other areas of expertise to be a teacher. I’ve worked with special needs individuals for over 20 years but because my graduate degree is in another area I could never work as a teacher in a public school. I can be hired out through private contractors to teach individuals in a public school that have IEPs though. I can also provide training to teachers and parents but I’m not deemed good enough to be a teacher myself. Probably costs the school system twice as much this way and really makes no sense. Also if I were able to substitute teach in public school the district I’m in currently would pay me for a bachelors degree and not a masters plus many years. Doesn’t exactly make me jump up and try it- I can look elsewhere where I don’t have to jump through hoops and can make more money and have much more control over individual student programs and progress.
