Discussion
After reading this chapter I feel I have learned a great deal from the research presented by the authors of the articles in the chapter and look forward to reading more chapters throuhgout the rest of the course. I felt the student soap box was a great question. I have thought about what kind of teacher I want to become but I have not thought about all the values I want to feel confident instilling within my students. I feel the more I learn through the reading the more I become excited about becoming a teacher and changing lives. Lwill031 (talk) 15:55, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

I enjoyed this chapter because it gave all the fundamental reasons of why I went into teaching. I also think that there were many reasons in this chapter why there are some teachers who may not be viewed as a professional. I hope that many teachers that are just starting out realize the many things that make up a good teacher and the it is not just conveyance of the knowledge but also caring for the students that you will interact with.

This chapter culminates some of the thoughts and worries in my mind that concern the aspect of teaching and the apprehension, but crazy enjoyment I get out of it. It touches on the overall goals a teacher should have– how teachers impact students (hopefully in a positive way) and reinforces the meaning of what I might be trying to do with my life, and how important that is.

This chapter presents some interesting ideas on the philosophy of teaching. I was particularly intrigued by the section debating what it means to be a qualified teacher. The side of the debate that argues that teacher qualification should not depend on appropriate education presents some good points. This side argues that teacher qualification should be determined by how effectively the teacher teaches and by how well the teacher is able to build relationship with students. While I think these are good points, I agree with NCLB requirement (along with additional state requirements) that a teacher needs to have a certain amount of education and that this should not be open to compromise. Teacher's who have trouble building relationships can improve on this with experience. However, mastery of content is indispensable and needs to be proven before taking on a position as a teacher.
