AbstractTeacher education in South Africa is a matter of concern. It is a concern because students who chooseteaching as a career are few. The profession is surviving because of students who pass Grade 12 and find out thatthey are not qualifying to pursue their first prioritized, desired or chosen career in the university and hence turn toteaching as an alternative career. It becomes important to keep these teachers in the profession. It should alwaysbe remembered that teaching is a noble profession. It needs a professional individual who is dedicated to his workand who will practice roles of a teacher as per the norms and standards for educators. Teaching needs a professionalindividual who will be a role model to his learners. Students who choose teaching as a second choice and even thosewho choose teaching as their first priority career path need to undergo three components of teacher education inorder for them to remain in the teaching profession for their entire career. In this conceptual paper researcherswould like to emphasize the importance of incorporating three components of teacher education for the careerspan of teachers. The three components, which will lead the discussion, are initial teacher training, induction, andteacher development or continuing professional development. |
