Study: Student progress can be tied to teacher students-eSchool news

Teaching is becoming more and more competitive ech day it seems. The States are constantly changing curriculums, testing to certify future teachers and making sure that young canadiates like us, are going to be the best. Studies are showing that the best teachers, are the ones with that have been provided with the best training. So what exactly is the best training? According to this article, many believe it is where you attend college and what the school district provides you with their training. There is controversy over that because then there are others who believe that it has nothing to do with what school or the training schools provide you with, it has to do with the field experience that young future canadiates have had over the years. Many people from this article say that the one thing that they were not prepared for before going into the classroom was the knowledge on classroom management and field experience. Being able to get out into different schools and see what classroom settings are like, you can build you knowledge without even realizing it. It is extremely important for us to get the feel of classroom settings and learn about how teachers collaborate with their students, the structure, and most important teaching techinques. You can't be taught how to teach a classroom from professors because it is not realistic. Young future teachers can learn so much from spending time in classrooms and pick up ideas from their host teachers. In reality, when walking into an interview for a teaching position, it's going to be all about HOW you teach a lesson, rather than where you went to school or what grades you got. If you can teach and the teachers in front of you can understand, then the students should be able too!
