Hello everyone! I am preparing for CBEST and struggling a lot with writing. Thank you so much for your help!
Prompt:
Should there be any restriction on how many years a teacher may teach the same subject or grade level?
The issue of limiting amount of years teachers instructing the same subject or grade level is a controversial one. Some believe that switching grade levels or subjects will positively affect teachers, while others believe that these changes will impact teachers negatively. After careful thought, I feel that restricting amount of years teachers are staying within the same subject or grade level will have a positive influence on their professional skills, classroom performance, and job opportunities in a community.
One reason for this belief is that teachers who are switching grades or subjects are facing new challenges that will make them grow professionally as educators and instructors. Working with different age groups of students gives teachers a better perspective of their students' needs. Also, changing subjects can help a teacher to develop their skills in instructing different subjects, which will benefit students as well.
Another reason for this belief is that when a teacher spends too much time in one grade level he or she sometimes goes through motions and is not inspired as much as before. Furthermore, it can affect the quality of their instruction and influence their students' performance at school. Working with another grade level or teaching a new subject can help them to stay focused on improving their performance as well as developing new lesson plans.
The best reason for this belief is increasing job opportunities not only for new teachers but also for teachers, who want to try working in a new environment. While some teachers stay in the same position for many years, other teachers have a very limited choice of the ways to start their teaching career or grow professionally in a new classroom. Moreover, increasing job opportunities for talented new teachers and professionals will help schools to extend their staff and improve their scores.
In the final analysis, I believe that restriction on amount of years a teacher teaches the same subject or grade level will benefit teachers as well as their students and the community.
