[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes that is the problem and brand new teachers who have all the education and credentials don’t know how to do that either. They don’t do a good job of teaching it during college so they have to learn in the job from experienced teachers (and it’s freaking hard so a lot of them never do it well).

And don’t tell me a new teacher has never cried because they were overwhelmed. That is a normal thing to do.[/quote]

But the new teachers who have been through a licensure program have the theoretical understanding and the child development knowledge as a starting point. They have also had months of student teaching to learn the very basics. Someone with none of that is going to be a trainwreck and the experienced teachers are not going to do a single thing to support unlicensed and untrained people in teaching positions. [/quote]

Sadly a lot of the child development they learn is outdated and wrong. I do think that something like student teaching is very important. I think it would be very bad if experienced teachers didn't support those who became licensed through non-traditional paths. I don't know why they wouldn't do that? Spite? [/quote]
