Resilience

Sometimes is it difficult to prepare future educators for the different things they will encounter while teaching until they have actually experienced it. To prepare teachers for the stresses related to their profession I believe we must tell them how different situations showed be handled with a student and then give them opportunities in actual classrooms to observe how other teachers handle certain stresses.
It is difficult to prevent someone from changing professions if they just don't enjoy what they are doing because this usually makes for a bad teacher due to the lack of interest in their job. I believe that their should be some type of incentive for teachers who have stayed with the profession for a certain amount of time. Many teachers seem to want to give up after their first year of teaching but what they need to know is that becoming a good teacher can take years of hard work. I think new teachers just need to give it time before they consider a new profession.
