Chapter 14: Succeeding in Your Teacher Education Program--and Beyond

My concerns for teaching have to deal with parents who have no care about their kid’s future and don’t care about their actions in school, and their lack of work in my classroom. Another concern of mine is having the inability to reach out and get through to every student, especially those who need saving. I also am concerned with the level of violence in the schools, about the possibilities of bomb threats, fires, and guns being brought into the school.
My area of concern through the concern model is mainly through two factors in the model, unconcerned and impact. Unconcerned mainly because I am more worried about having to deal with parents of the student rather than teaching the student, and impact because I’m more concerned with getting through to the students and being protective of them through the lack of security present in the schools.

The stage that I am at with the stages of concern is probably at a level one or two. These are informational and personal, so I’m not so concerned about it that I will change everything I do to make sure my concerns never happen, but I am aware of what I’m concerned with.
