Re: I want a chance to teach
Posted by Rodeo on 5/01/08
I went 3-12 and college in Colorado. I did masters classes, teaching credential, and community college classes for fun in California. I taught in California schools and and observed in many different classes. You are right that the classes in the high-performing schools did more resemble the schools I attended. But I also noticed that group work was really shoved down my throat in my teaching practicum courses and there seems to be a disregard in the state for high academic standards. I don't know how Colorado may have changed in the last 15 years since I have been gone but I know a lot of Californians flooded California in that time. Coloradoans back in the day tended to be well-educated so it may be that Californians who moved there may have suffered in comparison. As a Coloradoan, I and my peers tended to think of Californians as slightly shallow thinkers. Sorry to tell you this. I guess it is the beach culture along the more populated coastal area, breast implants, uncritical acceptance of politically correct ideology, pandering to minority groups, etc. And it is a general rule of thumb in the United States that educational attainment improves as you move East and North. Not hard and fast but still... A high- performing suburb in Pittsburgh will probably outperform a high- performing suburb in Denver, which will outperform a high-performing suburb in San Diego. I don't know if it is fair or not. But if there are highly qualified teachers to be had with Colorado teaching credentials, why hire someone with a California credential?
