Online Learning for Teaching Profession
As of now, it can’t be denied that the entire nation in United States are quite experiencing a shortage of teachers that are quite qualified and undergone a rigorous training in order to have a real effect for changes especially for a highly in need and to urban schools districts based on the National Commission of Teaching and America’s Future. The only good news for that is teachers can be found anywhere but the different educational learning institutes, administrations, and even the government are trying to ensure that the country are producing and updating the new generation for high quality teachers or educators. With that aspect, it’s quite clear to consider about having new options in order to educate, trained, and even preparing for the future teacher generation. As of now, this country is quite in need to employ new generation of students wherever they might be.
With that, the teacher shortage is already coupled with its current economic crises that enable them to make a great case for some possibilities upon foregoing an online degree program especially to those individuals who are still new to teaching profession. The Graduate School of Education and Human Development (GSEHD) only got some comprehensive online education program even those for Master degrees. However, it does not mean that; it can provide an employment for an emerging job market recession but it will vitally serve an accreditation for freshmen teachers and provide areas for career training in their field. A new program from the University of Southern California that been known as MAT@UTC school offers an online master of arts of teaching program that does not only educate the new teachers but as well to those without an undergraduate degree of education program of some previous of any teaching experiences but as well, it also provide some tools and even resources for the learners needs in order to achieve some certification for whichever state of teaching they are in.
Through the usage of familiar social media tools and even some interactive lectures such as the streaming video, some animation and Web 2.0 technologies the MAT@USC got some potential of producing new and even talented teachers. Since, the programs offers some good chances in order to specialize the language of arts, science, history, and even mathematics or some general certification in order to allow them to teach for elementary schools. A teacher does not only learn by watching their own teachers or mentors taught them but it needs teaching in classroom setting. In which, they entirely need practical hands on experiences that can’t be found on the Web. Indeed, this innovative online setting Master’s program needs also of providing field based experiences and even mentoring program for the entire learners in order to ensure there will be a face to face human or local elements of the program.
