Teacher Inservice, Seminars And Workshops Can’t Fill Gaping Holes In Outdated Teacher Training
More On This Topic: Website Developer Digital Agency Sydney By Ruth Wells Their college training prepares teachers to work with Beaver Cleaver yet Beavis and Butthead show up instead each day. While students have changed radically over the years, with youngsters being dramatically more misbehaved, unmotivated, challenging and troubled, teacher training has stayed pretty much the same. Experts at Washington State University have estimated that 80% of teacher training focuses on content: arithmetic, spelling, reading and so forth. Only 20% of teacher training focuses on “human factors” such as the misbehavior, apathy, and challenges that students face.

High stakes testing has made training zero in even more on content.…
