Teacher training is very important for teachers because they
should be able to teach multiple subjects and be qualified in
what they are teaching. Strengthening of the normal school
curriculum and standards was needed in order for the school
system to get better. In the 1900's schools exploded from 50 to
almost 350, but with the low academic levels, teacher and
students were not able to teach or learn at a college level.
Teachers did not have, at this point, a college degree
themselves. As the population kept increases and there was a
higher demand for education, everyone began to need a high
school diploma to be admitted for a college degree.
University enter teacher training: "Teacher training at the
college or university level, typically consisted of one or two
courses in the "science and art" of teaching, had been offered at
a limited number of institutions as early as the 1830s, and the
universities had always been institutions for the education of
those who taught in the Latin grammar schools, academies, and
high schools" (Webb, 2014).
This did not qualify them as teachers when they took these
courses, but it did make them become more knowledgeable then

3. others and they were able to teach others. After the Civil War is
when the school system grew and it would help the teachers
take courses in what they wanted to major in teaching.
Also Herbartianism, I believe was a great idea. It did not last
long but it was a great five step process to teaching. It was an
easier way for children learn and remember in mu opinion. I
would have definitely kept it around to help in my classroom
today. Preparation - the children received new information that
related to old information or experiences. Presentation would
give them a visiual of what they are learning. Association -
putting everything together. Generalization - coming up with
ideas that would relate to the material and Application -
applying everything learned. I would definitely use it because it
will show me that the children are learning and understanding
what they are learning.
