Are you ever really ready to go into a classroom and teach students of any age? Teaching is such a demanding and rewarding profession. It is difficult to enter this profession “ready” even after years of going to school yourself. For those that do not have the luxury of completing their education before starting to teach, the road is more difficult. You are expected to come into a classroom “ready” whether you have taken one class or have a Masters Degree. Is this fair or realistic? I am not sure if it is either, what I do know is that it takes hard work, long hours, and dedication to be successful.
You may find that are many demands and depending on the grade level , many assessments. There will be many obstacles to "teaching" because everything is so assessment driven. I believe that assessments are good measuring tools but there has to be a balance.
