[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's great that schools are ditching certifications. It doesn't seem to me that they do anything other than line the pockets of the mediocre degree mills that issue them. I'd much rather have a teacher with real knowledge, experience, and passion than one trained in pseudoscientific methods by a bunch of people who couldn't cut it as real academics.[/quote]

Not this. So many smart people with content knowledge come bounding into classrooms thinking they know it all, but have no grasp of managing a class or pitching their knowledge at a level that allows children to succeed and grow. Agreed, there are plenty of teachers who have been through teacher training programs that have organized bins and wall displays, but weak content knowledge. It all depends on having a smart curious person. If they have enough self-awareness to see their own imperfections and the ability to learn and grow, either background works. If they do not, neither background works. [/quote]

That’s a long winded way of saying that good teachers are good at teaching, and bad teachers are bad at teaching. So glad you’re here to explain the obvious![/quote]
