The Importance Of Education In Education

The differences were connected with a teacher’s original preparation for the teaching profession, licensing in the particular subject area to be taught, strength of the educational experience, and the degree of experience in teaching along with the demonstration of abilities through the National Board Certification, in which all of these facets can be addressed through policy (Darling-Hammond, 2010).America has not produced a national method containing supports and reasons to guarantee that teachers’ are adequately prepared and equipped to teach all children effectively when they first enter into the career of teaching. America also does not have a vast collection of methods available that will maintain the evaluation and continuing development of a teacher’s effectiveness in the classroom, or support decisions about entry into the field of teaching and the continuance in the profession of teaching (Darling-Hammond, 2010). n order to reach the belief that all students will be taught and learn to high standards calls for a makeover in the methods our system of education in order to be a magnet for, train, support or uphold, and cultivate effective teachers in more efficient ways. A makeover that is contingent in a certain degree of how the abilities or skills are comprehended (Darling-Hammond, 2010).In the last few years there has been increasing

America has encountered a change within the teaching profession: concerning, experience, age, credentials, and ethnic background (Feistritzer, 2011). It is almost as if the year of 2005, overturned the trend of older employed teachers (Feistritzer, 2011). A six-year survey shows that the amount of teachers under the age of thirty has increased drastically, and that most teachers have earned master degrees. Also, although teaching has been a predominately white profession, more Hispanic and African American teachers were hired between the years of 2005 and 2011 (Feistritzer, 2011).

This paper will explore the statistics of a career in elementary education. It covers job requirements (such as degree and teaching license), annual salary, job availability, and future trends in the field. It also discuss the top and bottom ten percentile for annual wages, as well as what further education may be required according to state preferences and laws and what technology may present itself in the future.

With beginning teachers usually earning entirely less than other college graduates, the profession is at loss of top-notch, quality people who tend to find jobs seeking more money. Almost 50 percent leave the profession within 5 years, lured by higher pay and prestige elsewhere in the booming U.S. economy (World, 1999, par. 7). Starting teachers average a $25,735 salary in the United States compared to an engineer earning $56,820 or a physical therapist earning $56,600 (Engineer, 2000, par.1). And what signal does it send out about the value of good teachers and a good education when a 45-year-old teacher with a master’s degree earns $45,000 a year and a 25-year-old out of law school often starts at $80,000, considering a six year education for a master’s degree and a seven year education for a law degree (Greenhouse, 2002, par. 4)? A teacher is also given no compensation for the long hours spent basically in overtime work. The teacher’s day does not end when they leave school because if lesson plans, grading, or planning is not completed, it will have to be finished on their own time. Accountants, paralegals, and engineers all are compensated and get paid overtime for work that does not get completed in a regular day or if they want to stay and

In our country’s education system, one can still see the effects history had on its shaping. People that cannot afford a private education are not getting a strong enough education to help them continue on in life. Henrietta Lacks was a woman who had only a few years of primary level education because she had to quit to help on her farm for money. Because she had very little of an education, she had no knowledge of what was happening to her when she would go to the doctor. The doctors took advantage of this and took her cells without her knowing. Henrietta was not able to obtain a quality education due to the fact that her family was poor and needed her help on the farm. Poverty directly correlates with education in that impoverished people do not get equal opportunities in schooling nor are they raised and influenced the same outside of school.

Education is like building a house, we all begin with nothing. Just a pile of dirt on a small piece of land that has the potential to turn into anything one makes it. This is the same theory for kids, they start off with nothing and overtime, continue to gain knowledge. They can develop into anything they aspire to be with education. First, one needs to set the foundation with a good staff and educated teachers who are devoted and motivated to teach their students efficiently. The school must be filled with the proper supplies to set the students up for success. Location is a substantial factor concerning looking for a house as well as schools. More often than not, the nicer houses are located in more expensive neighborhoods that are provided with various luxuries like pools and a gym. Better schools typically come from better neighborhoods, and those come along with better things like more devoted teachers and more money in the school system.

Education is one of the fundamental aspects of developed societies. It prepares children for their future jobs- many of which are being taken over by robots- by teaching them skills such as solving mathematical equations or building computers. Although the U.S spends the most money out of any country on education (XYZ), U.S college graduations rates are decreasing every year, far behind its level of international dominance 100 years ago. There are multiple reasons why America’s education system is declining. First, teachers aren’t prepared, efficient, or engaged enough in their job: many students get bored and distracted in school, thus limiting their potential to learn. Second, schools aren’t accommodating for students with disabilities or special needs: poor kids with learning disabilities rarely succeed compared to their normal peers. Third, the values brought on by school aren’t relevant towards students’ learning: students are required to study for standardized tests over their schoolwork, students prioritize their grades over learning (which may lead to cheating), and teachers are given more responsibility for students’ learning rather than the students taking more responsibility themselves. Cathy Davidson analyzes these issues and proposes different approaches for reforming education in her essay “Project Classroom Makeover”. Davidson argues that “unlearning” concepts in schools improves a student’s overall performance. For example, irrelevant school subjects and

The association between birth spacing and formal education in the context of age at marriage is complex. The length of time a girl remains in formal school reduces her time spent in marriage during her reproductive life, and in turn shortens her window of childbearing years. Furthermore, by forcefully removing girls from school at an early age they are unable to receive the proper information and knowledge involving sexual and reproductive rights and health (Myers & Harvey 2011; Jain & Kurz 2007). Often under pressure from her husband, family, and society to prove her fertility, girls tend to have more frequent, poorly spaced births when married young compared to their adult married counterparts (Nour 2006). Benga et al. (2013) found that in rural communities in southern Ethiopia short birth intervals were almost twice as likely for mothers who had no formal education compared to their educated counterparts. Similarly a different study in Ethiopia by Hailu and Gulte (2016) found that women who had no formal education were three times more likely to experience short birth intervals when compared to their educated counterparts. This is in line with a study from northern Iran that found the length of birth interval significantly increased when women have a higher level of education (Hajian-Tilaki et al 2009). The length of inter-birth intervals studied in Tanzania was related to the maternal level of educational attainment such that as the level of education increase,

Teachers are overloaded and overwhelmed with the daily, weekly, monthly, and annual progress monitoring requirements placed upon them by their departments of education and schools alike. With the constant forms and reports necessary to document their efforts and effectiveness, many are on the verge of burn out and disillusionment with the dream of truly being educators. Reaching out to a coworker who is worn and tattered by the regularly increasing demands for greater performance and one more mandatory curricular addition is an act of mercy and love. This is love for our fellow man and love for the futures of the youngsters placed within that teachers’ realm of authority.

When a child does not receive adequate education from a young age, more times than not it traps him or her in a cycle of poverty that they are unable to escape. This is the paramount social issue of our generation. While other issues relating to hunger, homelessness, and healthcare are also important, they are short-term in nature. One can feed an individual; one can provide shelter to an individual; one can cure an individual. What one can not do as easily is educate an individual to a level where they can secure a stable future for oneself and for their progeny. There are too many variables to ensure success with short-term solutions and the time horizon is too long.

Throughout the last 50 decades or so, the world has advanced beyond our imaginations. With new technology being created every day, our minds never cease to disappoint us. However, although we have advanced in our industry, the school system in many developed countries have stayed static. The education systems we currently have were built with the intention of being useful during the industrial age. For a few countries, that stretches as far back as the 18th century. Yes, there have been small alterations made throughout the years but the principal idea of our education system has not changed for a mere 200 years. So, what is that goal exactly? To produce future factory workers.

Education is a diverse subject that is crucial working part in our society machine. We can thank our education system for what our world looks like today. Without education all our advances in technology, medicine, and critical thinking wouldn't be possible. Our teachers of the past, present, and future were and are some of the most important people to have walk this earth. They have touched the lives of many, and will continue to shape the minds of tomorrow. Yet, as well as our education system has done, their are still many issues that we must address as a whole. Issues such as Bilingual education and the hiring of unqualified teachers plague our education system.

Elementary teachers not only introduce their students to the basic concepts of core subjects, they also help pave the path to each student’s future success. Education to become a teacher is long and tedious, and while the income may not be the highest available, watching students develop a new skill or grow an appreciation for learning can be very rewarding. Because there will always be a need for education, even with the recent budget cuts, teaching jobs will always have to be available somewhere.

In the first year of teaching, four out of ten teachers quit. An educators job is not a walk in the park. In Kansas, we are facing a shortage of teachers. The most areas that are facing these shortages are Special Education, Adaptive and Functional Special Education, Early Childhood Handicapped, and hearing and visual impaired. It has been reported that Fewer students have chosen to major in education. There are many reasons that are causing the shortages, lack of

The educational obstacles faced by high school students today are vast and varied. The ancient structure of education in this country has not changed in over a century and by no means reflects the nature of the work environment that high school students will face. Mechanization, globalization, technology and collaboration are the future, yet the high school students of today are trained in the same fashion as those at the turn of the century when they were preparing for factory work. Today’s students are tomorrows’ innovators and problem solvers and thus need to be educated in a manner that will allow them to take on these roles. In order for today’s high school students to
