What makes a teacher
The idea that if you know something, you can teach
it, may seem a straight line. For a gifted few, it might be.
But many experts argue that teaching children and young
people requires knowing how to teach the content to achieve
understanding that is useful to actual learning.
Knowing how to teach children and young people means
having in-depth knowledge of pedagogy (varied philosophies
of learning and teaching), assessment, learning styles and
needs — and the varied complex dynamics that dictate the
context for how effective teaching happens. This fundamental
knowledge happens alongside opportunities to practise and
refine one’s teaching skills.
This is the difference between being taught by qualified
teachers and by people who know stuff. Knowing content is
not synonymous with good teaching. Getting teachers into
classrooms faster may fill classrooms, but at what cost?
There is a cautionary tale here worth paying attention to.
Shortening, and in some cases not requiring teacher
education at all, has been tried and failed. Studies have
shown that a major predictor of student achievement is the
preparedness of teachers. For teachers who have entered
into classrooms via expedited pathways, evidence showed
negative impacts for all student groups.
I fear we are on a road of short-term gain for long-term pain.
In any society, a well-trained certified workforce supports
continuity of learning and achievement. We wouldn’t
contemplate having an unqualified doctor treat us any
more than we want an uncertified electrician wiring our
house. So why is an unqualified teacher OK? Our children
deserve better.
