      It was such a struggle transitioning from high school courses to college courses, I cant even imagine what the transition into the real world is going to be like.

    2. Not enough subject-matter courses are included in teachers’ prepara-tion.

      I agree with this statement. a lot of subject matter courses are included in teachers preparation, but that does not mean that you cant make the presentation fun and turn it into a game that gets the kids up and moving.

    3. Although teachers are supposed toexcite students about learning, teacher preparation methods courses are of-

      I feel like a lot of teachers are in the profession or the right reason, but you always have those teachers who do not care about the well being of their students.

    4. a developmentalisttradition that stresses teachers’ abilities to basetheir instruction on their direct knowledge of their students—their mentalreadiness for particular activities

      I feel like this is a really great way to learn for some students, but for other students it causes stress and eventually forces them to give up, especially if it is not one of their strong and desired subjects.

    5. some subject-matter preparation, usually liberal arts orgeneral education for prospective elementary teachers and subject-matterconcentration for prospective secondary teachers; a series of foundationalcourses, such as philosophy, sociology, history, psychology of education;

      this statement stuck out to me because preparation really does vary depending on what type of a school you go to. I can connect this statement to a real life example where my friend wants to be a teacher, but she cannot take here needed courses until she takes her liberal arts classes.

    6. many teachers enroll in graduate programs.

      I feel like a teaching degree is often looked down upon by society because of the salary. This statement kind of argues with that.

    2. Developmental researchers have shown that young children under-stand a great deal about basic principles of biology and physical causality,about number, narrative, and personal intent, and that these capabilitiesmake it possible to create innovative curricula that introduce important con-cepts for advanced reasoning at early ages.

      this is also very interesting to me because I feel like children are looked down upon often in their younger years of life due to the little schooling that they have experienced, but in all honesty they know a lot at a young age and just do not know how to express it yet.

    3. Research from cognitive psychology has increased understanding ofthe nature of competent performance and the principles of knowledge orga-nization that underlie people’s abilities to solve problems in a wide varietyof areas, including mathematics, science, literature, social studies, and his-tory.

      I find this interesting because I remember taking classes in high school and learning about scientists such a B.F Skinner etc.
