A teacher-in-training is an individual who is a teacher and offers technical teaching assistance to teachers to educate them and further their training in specific areas. For example, a teacher-in-training may train teachers in behavior management or certain instructional strategies to enhance student learning. These educational professionals collaborate with other teachers and staff to implement diverse teaching approaches to increase student learning and achievement. They often use classroom observation and other methods to evaluate teacher performance and offer feedback to teachers regarding teaching style, curriculum development, and classroom management.
Most teachers-in-training have a bachelor's degree in education, although it is possible to achieve this position with an alternative teaching license or comparable training. Most of these individuals have a teaching license and have considerable teaching experience in the subjects they specialize in.
A teacher-in-training should possess strong communication, interpersonal, instruction, and organizational skills. A teacher-in-training can make an average of $33,000, but the career field is expected to decline slightly 1% in the next ten years.
