    Effective teacher training is important for several reasons: 1) It helps prevent failure by preparing new teachers for common challenges they will face. 2) It helps avoid teacher burnout by addressing stress and ways to vary teaching methods. 3) It provides understanding of benchmarks for student achievement rather than just memorization. 4) It provides supported practice teaching in a controlled environment with feedback. 5) It stops costly experimenting on students that hinders learning.

    Importance of Effective Teacher 

    Training

    Every four years, candidates for the presidency tout their plans on how they are going
    to fix the problems of education. One of the many educational problems that some
    states face is teacher shortages, particularly in the areas of science and math. One
    way that some areas have dealt with these shortages is by providing a fast track
    towards teacher certification for individuals who are coming from different fields. For
    example, an engineer might decide to become a teacher and is given a different path
    towards certification than a student just finishing up their undergraduate degree. The
    question then becomes, is this a successful model for creating new teachers?

    The following items look at why it is so important for all teachers to have
    effective teacher training programs. The sad truth is that not all programs are created
    equal. To provide new teachers with the greatest chance of success, they need to
    have completed a teacher preparation program that provides them with knowledge,
    experience, and guidance. When this does not happen, we not only risk teachers
    leaving the profession quickly, but more importantly we risk the education of entire
    classes of students.
    1. Helps Prevent Failure
    New teachers have many challenges that they face each day. Effective teacher
    training helps prepare new teachers for these challenges. While teacher training and
    student teaching won't completely prepare new teachers for every issue they will
    face, it can help them feel more confident about many common problems that arise
    for teachers each day. Without this background, teachers might feel like failures and
    eventually give up.

    2. Helps Avoid Teacher Burnout


    Effective teacher training programs will address teacher burnout. First, it helps new
    teachers to understand what can lead to teacher burnout. In some cases, this is just
    the stress of daily teaching. However, it can also be caused by not varying the
    information and methods of teaching enough. Teacher training programs that focus
    on particular subject areas like social studies. or mathematics can help students learn
    about different ways in which a subject can be presented.
    3. Provides an Understanding of the Benchmarks for Achievement
    Many inexperienced teachers focus on getting students to memorize and regurgitate
    success. However, does this show true student achievement? Without a background
    to what does and does not constitute authentic student learning, new teachers
    sometimes create lessons that don't lead to the results they were expecting.
    However, teacher preparation programs can help students understand how to find
    and apply effective benchmarks for student achievement.

    4. Provides Supported Practice in a Controlled Environment


    When it comes to teaching, reading a book is not enough. Even hearing teachers talk
    about teaching methods is not enough. New teachers need practice teaching
    combined with effective mentoring in order to help them understand what is
    required from them in their new position. This happens through student teaching in
    the classroom setting. However, it is imperative that student teachers are placed in
    appropriate classes that meet their interests. Further, the supervising teacher must be
    involved and provide feedback each day to help student teachers learn.

    5. Stops Costly Experimenting on Students


    While all teachers experiment with new lessons and techniques from time to time,
    teachers without proper training will often try things that education might have
    taught them would not work. This experimenting comes at a cost in terms of student
    learning. As most teachers know, it is very easy to lose your students at the beginning
    of a term. If you do exhibit competence, fairness, and consistency from the
    beginning, you risk losing respect and interest. The ultimate cost of this failure is in
    what the student will not achieve in the classroom.
