[quote=Anonymous]I am a former public school teacher now teaching in private school. My skills have nothing to do with my certification. They have to do with my passion for the subject matter, my love of working with children, and my willingness to stretch and experiment in the classroom. The certification was a box I had to check in work in the public system. I switched environments for more autonomy and a greater sense of community. I get emails every week from former colleagues asking me how they can make the transition to private school. You can get good or bad teachers anywhere, but my private school colleagues are excellent, and we get a tremendous amount of PD, including around instructional best practices. In public school, I spent a good deal of my time sitting through irrelevant trainings, prepping for and administering standardized tests and logging data for the sake of logging data.[/quote]
