Educators demonstrate a broad knowledge base and an understanding of areas they teach.

It is clear that teachers need to understand the content that they are teaching students. Although it can be said that teachers are not expected to know everything, they are certainly expected to have a relatively thorough understanding of the content they have prepared for students. Of course, every lesson will not be perfect, however, teachers need to try their best to be the providers of quality education. This means working hard to prepare quality content and teach that content to the best of their abilities. Durning the practicums I worked hard to meet this standard. Many times I would be up until very late at night finding and thinking about the content that I would be showing student during that week. This standard is a lot of work to satisfy well. This being said it is that teachers are paid for. It is also very rewarding as there are few things better than preparing a really cool lesson and having students enjoy it/ learn the nessnsary content.
