Global Achievement Gap: Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Reinventing the Education Profession
Wagner talks about the path to a teacher a lot of this chapter.  The experiences of making it through college of education.  Most teacher prep programs are all the same.  We take courses and tests then we are "ready" for the real world.  We don't always develop the skills needed to be an effective teacher and receive enough experience with effective supervisors.  We need to come up with a new program where there is much more hands on training.  And where we can get good feedback from day1 instead of the very end of your last semester of college where bad habits are hard to break.
