[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think teachers should be required to do student teaching and a few courses prior to teaching. Alternative certification programs don’t all do this so you have teachers in classrooms with zero experience at all. That’s not okay. [/quote] I’m a teacher who came through an alternative program. I am now a mentor teacher and I speak district-wide about classroom management, assessment, and curriculum development. There are many of us who came into teaching this way, and we are extremely successful. [/quote] In our district, the majority of teachers who come through alternative programs leave within 2-3 yrs. They are not prepared and spend the first few years doing what they would've done during student teaching except they don't have nearly as much support. They are building the plane as they fly it. Would this be accepted for other professions? To have no previous experience experience at all or any coursework? [/quote]
