Welcome to our  RESULT SERVICE  and your chosen topic

Education - TEACHING STANDARDS

In your experience, do teachers in general provide an appropriate standard of teaching?

               However, many teachers are now having to address other issues!

ISSUE(1)  Coping with and managing classroom behaviour much of which is unacceptable

ISSUE(2)  Maintaining a standard of teaching in overcrowded classrooms

ISSUE(3)  Addressing varying educational needs

ISSUE(4)  Teaching in a diverse society, particularly with language difficulties

ISSUE(5)  Continuing pressure to maintain assessment standards for learning

How well do you think that teachers cope with these other issues, on a scale of 0-9?

                                                              (0 = Very badly, 9 = Extremely well)

 Faced with the choice, would you be a teacher at this time?

There is clearly a reluctance to become a teacher at this time and the most common reasons given were:

(1) Lack of respect from pupils

(2) Coping with poor classroom behaviour

Below are some of the comments received from respondents

Some teenagers lack respect for each other, and adults. Also, there is little freedom within the curriculum for teacher expression.

Male Respondent - South of England

One needs the confidence to perform the task of teaching and NOT to aim to pass tests!

That is not education. Passing numbers to "WHITEHALL" should NOT be a sensible thing to have to do. Statistics can be used to prove anything!

Male Respondent - Central England

I've always aspired to be a teacher. It always seemed a great job. I always wanted to be a teacher as I really liked my teachers in primary school and respected them. I overall see the benefits of teaching and its the profession I will go into when I leave school and get qualifications to be a primary teacher.
