"Only A Teacher" opens a dialogue about the history of education and its state today. That dialogue continues here in Show and Tell. Whether you're a teacher, student, or parent, your experience is incredibly important. Share it in the forum! Professional Development: Teachers Say What They Think How well do schools of education prepare teachers to meet challenges in the classroom? What works, and what is missing? What programs help support first year teachers, and what can be done to reduce teacher attrition rates? What is the role of teachers' unions and educational professional associations in the 21st century? Why do people enter the teaching profession, and why do they stay? American Education: Teachers, Students and Parents Speak Are teachers held to different standards than people in other professions, or others in your community? To what extent should schools be responsible for character education and/or social work in the community? Are the schools in your community doing a good job? If not, what would you like to change? How can communities support schools? How can parents and teachers work together for the success of children?
