The teaching profession faces many challenges. But one of the largest challenges may be adaptability. There is a variety of students and all their differences may be difficult to accommodate. Teachers often take the blame for many of the challenges students face as well so it is difficult to take responsibility or draw lines.]]> 2021-09-14 01:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1737772744 https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1737772805 Teachers face a myriad of issues, including budgetary concerns, lack of access to materials related to class, parents who criticize, belittle, and question everything done by teachers, and are overall underpaid and overworked.]]> 2021-09-14 01:03:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1737772805 forrestrwhitford https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1737782510 A particular problem teachers face in their profession is the challenge of meeting students on their terms even if they don't fully understand the circumstances of the student. ]]> 2021-09-14 01:07:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1737782510 tannahkevans https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1737857434 When segregation is happening it effects a lot more than the students performance it makes them disconnected in diverse skills and more. Even if physical segregation might not be happening segregation through money still is funding. Teachers face a lot of difficulty’s and are having to adapt to the students willing, but they are put last to the higher ups and feels the backlash from the community when in reality it’s not always there fault when something goes wrong or disagreements are made.  ]]> 2021-09-14 01:35:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1737857434 https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1738109910 Teaching faces many challenges. The first of which to come to mind is proper motivation for being a teacher, making sure we prioritize the students! Another is not getting paid enough. Third is underfunding, it is very possible that we will end up trying to give our best to students who can't even afford proper equipment.]]> 2021-09-14 03:09:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1738109910 https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1738121131 I think the biggest challenge we might face on teaching profession will be underfunding of the school. Yes, there will be schools who will have good funding but not every school around the world is like that. most schools will be underfunded, Especially in fine arts program...
I am very worried that school I go in to teach are underfunded and wouldn't support our program. ]]> 2021-09-14 03:13:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1738121131 https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1738251821 Matthew Reed

A major challenge that teachers face is that they are often asked to perform roles and tasks outside of what they are trained to do, and then when the system breaks down they are the ones to take the blame.]]> 2021-09-14 04:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1738251821 https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1739528503 Brittany Esparza-Estevez

Challenges that teachers face today are extremely hard to avoid. This statement is especially true with everything happening nowadays. Teachers are not given the correct amount of respect and pay they deserve for everything they go through. Teachers are expected to stay patient and adapt to everything that gets thrown at them. ]]> 2021-09-14 13:53:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1739528503 lindseybaumgartner https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1739533463 The teaching profession faces many different challenges. However, I feel one of the biggest challenges teachers face is being caught in the middle of issues they have no control over. The pandemic is a perfect example of this. Teachers had little control over what school would be like during the pandemic, yet they still faced backlash from the community for what local and state governments were deciding. ]]> 2021-09-14 13:54:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1739533463 birdsongk https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1740155235 The increased reliance on property taxes rather than state funds will increase the gap between affluent, and downtrodden districts. Assumedly, this principle could also affect the salaries of teachers. Understandably many of us did not choose this profession for monetary reasons, but it is something to factor into the equation.]]> 2021-09-14 16:58:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1740155235 https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1740159502 Teachers face many challenges, but to me, something that can be concerning is funding for them. I've known previous teachers of mine that had to purchase their own supplies because there wasn't funding. Along with students donating supplies to them, it's still sometimes not enough.

We see this with the war over mask mandates or the underfunding of (mostly minority) schools. Because teachers are so proximal to education, it's far easier for someone to blame them than it is to consider the often abstract damage that, say, systemic racism does to a community. Ironically, the best answer that I can think of to the issue is to educate people on the specifics.]]> 2021-09-14 19:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1740596928 https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1740812257 The teaching profession faces some pretty profound challenges that I had not realized. Equity of students, funding, stigma, even the unprecedented event of the pandemic is something that teachers simply cannot catch a break on. Pay, overworking, and bureaucracy are also huge challenges that teachers often face.

This appreciation kind of went up as we discussed when covid hit and students  had to be homeschooled, but for the most part teachers are not fully given the credit they deserve. This is reflective in the pay , the excessive amount of work they are asked to do sometimes, and much more. Teachers give all they have to help those learn and grow and don't get the praise they deserve!

Not only are they underpaid, teachers are under appreciated. For some of the responsibilities the teaching profession holds, their efforts are not acknowledged enough. Those responsibilities in themselves are challenging. In some cases, a teacher obtains tasks not originally thought for them to hold like a safe place or caretaker. ]]> 2021-09-15 01:08:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1741113749 chuakaitze https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1741284813 Kaitze Chua(Gwen)
One of the biggest challenges in teaching profession is that teachers need to find a good balance in student needs, because every student has different learning needs. Teachers need to learn about students' learning traits and make adjustments accordingly in their classroom teaching.]]> 2021-09-15 02:11:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1741284813 tranc870 https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1741357101 Dealing with backlash that they do not deserve, such as  systematic issues that teachers have little control of

One that has really caught my eye is teachers pay and the value which they are placed at. Teachers are often underpaid for the work they do. Using their own funds to buy supplies etc. Funding goes hand in hand with this issue. The value of teachers also seems to move in a wave. Our discussion in class talked about how in the covid crisis teachers were hailed as heroes, but once back in the classroom they were met with major criticism and backlash. These two challenges go hand in hand, once society places a teachers value higher, they pay and funding will increase.]]> 2021-09-15 17:28:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1743522594 keilacastrovalenciana https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1744255740 Teachers face so many issues, they have to deal with the funding for teachers as well as most of the stuff teachers provide for students sometimes end up being out of pocket. 
Teachers also have to not only deal with students but with the parents of the students as well. Sometimes school is the only place a student has access to a "parental" guide for example it can be stressful for teachers when a student were to ask for help and parents don't approve of the help. ]]> 2021-09-16 00:22:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1744255740 https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1752650427 The teaching profession faces the challenge of the structure of schools and policies conflicting with the true purpose of school. The school has become a machine to produce cogs in a capitalist machine children are taught to get good test scores to get into a good college to get a good job. At no point is critical thinking and development made a priority. Subsequently, these policies work against already marginalized communities, especially those in poverty. Students in poverty do not have the same resources their affluent counterparts might; these resources include access to the internet and tutors; as a result, students in that demographic don't perform as well. The success of a school is tied with the success of students in terms of testing. That success often links to the funding and resources students have access to furthering marginalization and the challenges that come with it.]]> 2021-09-20 01:36:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kimgarciaprof/5b9j7wqdaloqf6aw/wish/1752650427
