@Janice: I don’t really expect much help on the day-to-day classroom management aspects of my job. It would be nice, though, wouldn’t it? I’m amazed that my program in Secondary Math doesn’t obviously include any courses about teaching math. Sure, I take a bunch of math classes. And even more educational theory classes. But, where are the “teaching high school algebra” or “theories in math curricula”?

I suppose that the educational theory that I learned in my ed program was helpful. It certainly has helped me pass standardized tests that I have had to take to get a credential in different states that I have moved to (Hawaii and Texas). However, it was pretty unrelated to what happens every day in the classroom. I remember spending hours writing a lesson plan and trying to figure out the difference between a goal and an objective. Again, I suppose that is all good stuff, but once you get in the classroom there is not a lot of time for that and there are SO many other things that become important (relationships with kids and parents and school leadership, management, grading, etc…). You are ahead of most people because you have learned those things on the job!
