I would agree that preservice training is vital and professional development should be a required part of making teachers ever more effective and skilled. I am hoping what people take from this is that when we make teaching a job that requires heroic measures in order to achieve success, we are destined for failure. Good teachers are good teachers and good heroes are good heroes. It is unreasonable and frankly impossible to expect every teacher to be both.

Teacher mastery of their subject and abilities are important and should not in my opinion be compromised- It speaks to the need for teachers to have access to continuous Professional Development and pre-service training before they step foot into a classroom. I as a parent would not want an unqualified teacher teaching my child.Adnanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09842739078248663119noreply@blogger.com
