[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know plenty of experienced teachers in DCPS. They're just spread out. [/quote] +1[/quote] Experience is fantastic but so is professional training. Teachers who are new but coming out of high quality teacher education programs usually make MUCH better teachers than their untrained TFA counterparts. DCPS seems to not understand the extensive research that has been done on that. [/quote] Yeah, if preparing someone, anyone, to be an effective teacher could be done in just 6-8 weeks, the US would've done it by now. Teaching would be a jobs program for former inmates and anyone else who suddenly decided they had what it takes to go into the classroom. I've been impressed with some new teachers from TFA-type programs. They worked beautifully with struggling, disadvantaged students on a personal level. But they lacked in instructional value.[/quote] idealism only goes so far[/quote]
