Formal Training? A lot of people that get into this business do not have formal training. I didn't before I got into it. Then, I went and got my master's. Do you think people really need formal training to do a good job? |
Re: Formal Training? Yes, you need training to be a good or great teacher, I think. But it doesn't have to be formal, and can simply be self-study, assessment, and a desire to learn from successes/mistakes. By formal training, I assume a degree or certificate after formal study and a test. Alternatively, there's in-house training, which can also be effective. This is important, but improvement can also be had by reading and assessing. Informal training is just what you do on your own. It's an ongoing process, and perhaps more important than a certificate or degree. The learning and improvement process shouldn't stop because you now have a piece of paper. Any others with thoughts on the subject? |
Re: Formal Training? I taught both before and after formal training and I think it did make a major difference. There's no teacher like experience, however. Also, some of the 'formal training' can be of a really poor standard. |

Re: Formal Training? I think it can't be overlooked that it's easier to get a job with a certificate of some kind. . . meaning formal training (which I don't have) leads to more experience. I think I'm doing fine without it, but I spend a lot of time thinking about what works and what doesn't. |
