The Importance of Professional Education in LET
You can know everything about Math or Science, but if you don't know how to teach it, you are not a teacher—you are just an encyclopedia.
Introduction
You can know everything about Math or Science, but if you don't know how to teach it, you are not a teacher—you are just an encyclopedia.
Professional Education (ProfEd) bridges the gap between content knowledge and student learning. It is the "art and science" of the profession.
The Heart of Teaching
ProfEd teaches you empathy. Through Child and Adolescent Development, you learn why a student acts a certain way. Through Facilitating Learning, you learn that every child learns differently.
It transforms you from a lecturer into a facilitator, a mentor, and a guide.
Situational Analysis
The LET is heavy on situational questions because teaching is situational. No two days are the same. No two classes are the same.
ProfEd equips you with the principles to make the right decision in the heat of the moment—whether it's handling a disruptive student, designing a fair test, or communicating with an angry parent.
Ethical Foundation
Above all, ProfEd instills the Code of Ethics. It reminds you that teaching is a profession with public accountability.
It sets the standard for moral behavior, ensuring that teachers remain role models in and out of the classroom.
Conclusion
Embrace ProfEd. Don't just study it to pass. Study it because your future students deserve a teacher who understands them, knows how to teach them, and cares enough to do it right.
