[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, I can’t believe they are starting this now. Other counties have had similar programs for years. Those include a month of summer courses and summer school teaching as a sort of student teaching, if I remember correctly. Hiring someone this late is going to be interesting.

On the other hand, I don’t think they have many options and presumably someone who wants to be a teacher long term will be better than a stream of subs. [/quote]

Our district has a program like this and it's rare for these teachers to last the entire school year. We had a teacher quit by mid-September last year. All of this nonsense could be avoided if they paid teachers a lot more and gave them more support. Instead, they will be spending money on people who will quit because they have no clue what they are getting themselves into. I'm a traditionally trained teacher. I completed a yearlong student teaching position and I still didn't feel totally prepared when I got my first class as a teacher. [/quote]
