A 14 page paper presenting a proposal for researching the
question of whether new teachers are as prepared for the
classroom as were new teachers of 20 years ago. That new
teachers are relatively unprepared for todays classroom is fairly
obvious. The question is why? Is it their grasp of subject
matter, ability to effectively manage a classroom, efficacy
regarding the associated but non-teaching duties of the teaching
position, or is it that the old system of teaching children simply
is not effective in todays society? Indications point to the
inability of old methods to meet the needs of today.
