Great job on your first blog Oouwee!!! You did it!! And you did a very nice job!! Feels good, doesn't it???!! I like that you have moved your direction towards teacher training as opposed to student success! With regard to your problem statement, you really brought up two issues: inadequate training and feelings of inadequacy towards teaching. I think your problem statement should focus solely on the feelings of inadequacy (if you have evidence to support this) and then the purpose statement should focus on whether or not teachers are adequately prepared.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great topic. I must admit that I am one of those teachers who hold my breath and hope it's not me this year that has the inclusion class due to training. Although we do have these one hour sessions every few months, really what is that gonna do. Good luck with finding the answer!
