Is there such a thing as an expert teacher? When a teacher feels he or she is an expert, I believe they are not really looking at themselves. How does one become an expert? What makes a person an expert? The curriculum as well as the students change on a daily basis. A teacher must be willing to change with the times. With this ever changing society a teacher is never an expert. One might be very close, but will not and cannot be an expert.
I am a brand new teacher, who is considered a novice, a newbie. I have many years of teaching before I can move up the line. I will work hard and try my best to get close to expert, but the day I say I am an expert teacher is the day I quit. I am currently working on my Master's. This of course will help me climb and scaffold my ideas in order for me to get closer to expert. I am clay that is waiting to be molded!
