Anna B Â Â 1,365 #134 Posted February 7, 2016 Teachers are strictly monitored. They are subject to continuous staff development,continuous professional development. They are observed regularly in house and by Ofsted . They are graded and held to account for poor examination outcomes. They are subjected to a lengthy probationary period before they are taken onto a full time contract. They are all graduates with a University Degree. FE and HE teachers are required to hold a teaching qualification. In today's education system you cannot get away with being a bad teacher. If you are you will be sacked -and the teacher's unions will not defend a bad teacher. No matter what educational methodology is current, you are required to be an expert . Â Correct. Â And in addition to that, if you can't teach or keep discipline your life will be a living hell. Kids can smell fear like they can smell failure, and they will see to it that you don't make it past the first half term. Â In that case, run for it, there are easier ways to make a living...

999tigger   10 #139 Posted February 10, 2016 So Teacher shortages look to be one of the factors.  Teacher shortages in England, spending watchdog confirms  It means 28% of secondary physics lessons are taught by teachers with no more than an A-level in the subject, the National Audit Office report says. Ministers have a "weak understanding" of local teacher shortages, it adds.  The government said overall teacher numbers had risen and blamed unions for "talking down" the profession. While the overall number of teachers has kept pace with rising pupil numbers, teacher shortages are growing, particularly in poorer areas and at secondary level, according to the authors.  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-35531982 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
