Teacher Preparation

A
Most teacher programs do not mention
creativity.
• Teachers feel pressure to “cover” the subject
matter to prepare for the test, thus being a
“mile wide and an inch deep.”
• We need assessments for creative work
(writing example).
• Curricular demands shouldn’t emphasis
breadth over depth.
