Resilience

Teachers need to be taught resilience in there education programs. Our countries education for educators is sad and ineffective, to say the least.
Teachers need to experience more clinical/hands-on teaching experiences in their education and certification process. If teachers had real experience, and we able to see what education is like "in real life" then they would be more mentally and emotionally prepared and aware of the upcoming challenges in their careers. This would also give an opportunity for those who would drop the profession to find out that they are not interested/capable before they finish the degree and are stuck in classroom where they don't want to be.
Resilience can only be taught with hands on experience. Since every person has different strengths and weakness-they will face different and varied amounts of challenge in the field of education. Because of this, it is impossible for a professor to stand up in front of a class of future-educators and say/warn them what they will find challenging as a teacher. This can only be found out individually by each person.
If our system was more effective, we would give our future-educators ample opportunities to figure out their personal challenges in their education and before they step into the classroom as a professional.
