A
RESOLUTION
Urging
the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia to include more
instruction in classroom management in the required curriculum for teacher
education programs; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,
a classroom teacher will confront many issues relating to control of the
classroom and management of students on a day-to-day basis; and
WHEREAS,
if a teacher is not able to manage the classroom, he or she will not be able to
appropriately deliver academic instruction to the students; and
WHEREAS,
an individual studying to become a teacher will be required to serve as a
student teacher as a part of his or her teacher education curriculum and, as
such, will receive some exposure to day-to-day issues which may arise;
and
WHEREAS,
student teaching is recognized as the most influential component in teacher
preparation and the capstone experience in a student´s teacher education
program; and
WHEREAS,
because of the importance of classroom management, it would be beneficial to
better prepare individuals studying to become teachers in awareness of such
issues and appropriate methods of handling various situations which may arise;
and
WHEREAS,
the state universities and colleges which offer degrees in education have an
opportunity to include greater instruction to their teachers-in-training on
classroom management techniques and real world issues that they may face in the
classroom.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the Board of
Regents of the University System of Georgia is urged to include more instruction
in classroom management in the required curriculum for teacher education
programs.
