I also think we often say we wish this or that was part of our undergraduate program, but honestly, so many things are taught when you’re learning to become a teacher and without real classroom experience, it lacks the amount of relevance I get from continuing to do professional development as a teacher. So, instead, I think every teacher should continually enroll in courses, seminars/webinars, and online opportunities like this one so we are connecting it to what we do/what we should do in our classrooms.
