[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d rather have a teacher with a great undergrad / grad degree who is intellectually rigorous than a mediocre one who got through the joke that is teacher certification. Sounds like a win-win; fill the open jobs with better teachers.[/quote] About 75% of the “career switchers” I’ve worked with have crashed and burned quickly because their BA in Marketing and “real world experience” didn’t remotely prepare them for teaching. Intellectually rigorous indeed. [/quote] In my experience, they were the ones that did okay. They knew how to work with people from their real world experience. The career switchers from STEM fields who didn’t have a clue how to teach the concepts to the kids while also trying to have some sort of class control were the ones that left quickly. [/quote]
