CER Model
| The field of education – specifically teaching- is something one might consider because it enables people to employ important skills such as problem solving. Problem solving is an important skill that one must possess if they choose to enter into the field of teaching. According to the website “My Next Move,” people in the field of education must be able to problem solve because they “teach writing classes, evaluate and grade students’ class work, assignments, and papers”(My Next Move). This quote demonstrates/illustrates/highlights how a person choosing to enter the field of education must be able to problem solve. In other words, the rigor of preparing lesson plans and developing assignments requires the skill of problem solving in order for one to be successful within the field. |
