For new and experienced teachers, what are some of the most concerning or difficult classroom challenges that you wish you were better prepared for, or had more training opportunities to address?
For me, I’ve had students in my kids’ classes with severe ADHD or similar issues, and I wasn’t prepared for it. I’ve also helped with other classes where it seemed like the previous teacher had other students deal with a child who was getting overwhelmed, instead of addressing the situation themselves.
If your job offered certification or training opportunities for handling situations like this or even something like a CPR class would you take them?
