Solution

 Teacher Preparation and Education

In the past few months, I’ve seen a change in my motives for becoming a teacher. I worked as a Sunday school teacher, a youth leader, and a camp counsellor as I grew older. Despite my deep desire to work with children, I never really considered a career in teaching. Then, when a new school year started, I discovered just how much of their knowledge had been lost. Teaching my students was no longer only about ensuring they knew what they needed. Before I could even begin to cover the essential information, I needed to ensure that the students had the appropriate foundation.

In many school systems, increasing the number of minority instructors is a significant concern. The educational system must accommodate other cultures and their need to attract more pupils (Eckhardt,2020). It is time for schools to make a more significant effort to reach out to a broader spectrum of teachers and promote them to higher positions in the system (Eckhardt,2020). It will suggest that minorities are valued and desired. I am a firm believer in the advantages of a Professional Learning Community (Xin, 2020). Members of our school’s community are now attempting to satisfy the standards for membership in a PLC.

Professional Learning Communities are ongoing processes in which educators collaborate in recurrent cycles of collaborative research (Xin, 2020). So far, I haven’t seen any negative consequences from our switch to a PLC. We can combine our resources and utilize data to serve our students better. To put it plainly, I am pretty happy with the teacher preparation program I am now enrolled in. A lot of new stuff is being created, and I’m having a good time learning it. I could recollect information that I hadn’t used in a long time because of this software.
