By being a Summer Rec. Coordinator, I have realized that children are always teaching you new things. Teachers not only learn from their students, but also from the other faculty. They can learn new ways to teach and obtain new ideas that other teachers have used in the past. If they are teaching something in a way that others do not agree with, they will be made aware of it.
Teachers can also monitor their quality of teaching by looking at their students progress.
Overall I feel that teaching is as much of a profession as any other professional position. They meet all six of the requirements that Shulman includes in his article. To strengthen the teaching profession, teachers should continue to further their educations whenever possible, not just when they are required to do so. To make teaching a more professional occupation, teachers should also teach only what they are certified or qualified to.
