Chapter 13: Improving Teachers and Schools, and School Reform

Hopefully, before I graduate I will have some field work in classrooms, especially in Practicum. Having my degree, and some extra hours teaching before actually getting hired will be tremendously helpful in adapting to a classroom of my own later on in life. I hope to experience some problems while working in a practicum classroom with students so that I can learn from them, and be able to encounter them with swift action in my own classroom.

In my first 5 years of teaching, I will definitely come across some misbehavior. I will have to learn and abide by my schools behavior management system, and learn some conflict resolution techniques to deal with my students misbehavior.  My students grades on the standardized tests will show what a high-quality teacher I am. Both of these encounters in my first 5 years of teaching will help show how I am progressing as a teacher on my resume.

All schools are managed different ways, I hope to figure out how my school is managed and the chain of command. After I am a teacher for a while, I hope to acquire a high-quality teacher ranking, and also my master's degree. If the school I am teaching in has low test grades I hope to bring them up, and be able to help other teachers bring their students grades up as well. I also think that teacher to teacher communication is very helpful, and working together with other teachers(perhaps on a class or giving ideas on how to teach a specific student) will be helpful to both parties.
