ADVISORY/Classroom Management Instruction Lacking for New Teachers, Experts Say.Business Editors ADVISORY... --(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 10, 2000 TOPIC: Teacher training programs aren't making the grade when it comes to teaching management, according to experts in a recent Washington Post story. Some universities don't require prospective teachers to take any courses focused on keeping children under control, the story said. In addition, many states do not require proof of adequate classroom management skills, despite an increased stress on subject matter and pedagogy, the story said. Meanwhile, a nationwide teacher shortage continues to grow and every year new teachers quit in despair because they do not know how to get their classrooms under control, educators in the story said. Some schools have turned toward mentoring programs and classes by educational consultants as a result.
