As a parent and a teacher, I found out most of what I needed with on the job training. The advantage of taking the Psychology course now is that I can look back and say, "Oh, that's why that happened!" The responsibility I had as a teacher then was to guide my students toward intellectual independence. Much of my current teacher training is very helpful because I now teach adolescents. I see the merits of taking this type of course before a teacher sets a foot in the classroom. But this material would not fit so comfortably in the mini-workshops prior to Fall opening of schools, and, in that time-frame, teachers would not have time to reflect and to compare student behavior as we do in this class. I see my next year's students getting the benefits of the course.
