[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No offense, but the average SAT Scores of Education Major are low comparing with other majors. https://www.businessinsider.com/heres-the-average-sat-score-for-every-college-major-2014-10 Test is not the only thing to measure people's knowledge and capability. But, most teachers were not academically advanced when they were students. Are there enough training for teachers to learn about gifted student's traits? [/quote] I am a middle school teacher who teaches three AAP sections. My own educational profile isI remarkably similar to many of my colleagues' profiles. 1. Very few of us have an undergraduate degree in education. Most of us majored in mathematics, biology, chemistry, English, political science, business, World History, or another sublect-specific area. 2. I do not personally know any teachers who do not have at least one M.A., M.Ed., MBA, or MFA. 3. Everyone who teaches AAP has completed additional coursework in advanced academics. 4. A large percentage of teachers were in AAP/GT courses themselves when they were in school. I don't know where you got your information that most teachers were not academically advanced themselves. Based on my experience, in three different schools, that is far from the truth. [/quote] Much obliged, AAP Teacher! We love the AAP program, its teachers, and the awesome peer group. A huge improvement from gen ed. However, this new HOPE shenanigan where teachers are expected to morph into psychics, put on a racial lens, and assess students within their racial/cultural groups has everyone scratching their heads.
