As a class, we were told to share what three things we would want to learn from a “Teachers Prep Program.” So below are the three foremost topics in my eyes that I believe are the most important and the least talked about.
I think the first thing that a program should teach is how to not just be a teacher, but also be real person. If a student views a teacher as not caring or emotionless, it becomes hard to trust that teacher or feel comfortable in class. Teach us how to set the appropriate boundaries for a classroom that fosters openness and free spirit.
The second aspect that I think should be covered in the program is how to be culturally diverse and more aware of how student’s lives outside of school affect how they act inside school. This is important is because each student has his or her own beliefs and what you say or so could offend them.
How to best deal with parents of students is the third thing that I think is important to know for a new teacher. Your job puts you in a classroom with these people’s babies/investments and they expect you to know and do exactly what they think you should know and do.
