[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this board makes it sounds like every teacher is heading for greener pastures and that no one will fill the roles.[/quote] The second part of that statement is correct. My neighbor is a mentor teacher for a local university that has a large education department. She said she used to supervise 40 student teachers every year and most used to go into teaching when they graduated. This year there are 15 students who are doing student teaching and a few of those have other plans outside of teaching. Most of the incoming teachers at my school are alternatively trained. They have a crash summer program before they start teaching. That’s it. Trust me. It’s not enough. [/quote] I was one of those career switchers that went through an alternative program 12 years ago. The first year was hard, but by year 3 or 4, I was being recognized for my skills just as much as everyone else.[/quote]
