Educational Leadership:Revisiting Teacher Learning:A Framework for Learning to Teach
-
Educational psychologist Lee Shulman (2004) illustrated the complexity of teaching by comparing the fields of teaching and medicine. He noted that teachers have classrooms of 25–35 students, whereas doctors treat only a single patient at a time. Even when working with a reading group of 6–8 students, teachers are overseeing the decoding skills, comprehension, word attack, performance, and engagement of those students while simultaneously keeping tabs on the learning of the other two dozen students in the room. “The only time a physician could possibly encounter a situation of comparable complexity,” Shulman pointed out, “would be in the emergency room of a hospital during or after a natural disaster” (p. 258). He concluded that classroom teaching “is perhaps the most complex, most challenging, and most demanding, subtle, nuanced, and frightening activity that our species has ever invented” (p. 504).
