This was exactly my experience. I had to pass a review board before I began my senior year, and it was essentially an "ideological indoctrination" examination. I said what they wanted to hear. What else was I going to go with the 3 years of education that I had already purchased? I was fortunate to study at a college that emphasized field-based experience, because it was the only degree-related value that I left with.
In the end, I spent more hours earning my degree than using it. I work in software now.

- rahimnathwani 3y agoI'm guessing it's combo of: - equity and social justice - culturally-responsive teaching - student-centered learning - learning styles
- allknowingfrog 3y agoYeah, pretty much this. It's all part of the "it's a mission" mentality that leads to teachers being over-worked and under-paid. Everyone else has a job. You have a calling!
- allknowingfrog 3y agoOh, it's not a stated set of requirements. I would describe it as more of a culture. The review board didn't hand me a standardized test or anything. They just asked a lot of questions about my personal outlook on the field of education. I already mentioned this in another comment below, but what they really want to hear is "it's a mission".
- jerry1979 3y agoI did some searches for teaching being a mission, and that's pretty distressing that they demand that you work for money and then also work extra because it is "a service".
