Teacher Education has been shrouded in mystery in the past and is even more so today. When comparing the top 50% of teacher education schools, the relationship between a quality teacher education and quality teaching is theory at best.
However, the relationship between teacher quality and teacher satisfaction is obvious.
The most teachers can do in order to confidently better themselves as performing teachers is to address the following issues:
- Create a network of helpful educators (can be gained through your teacher education program, many online programs have proven that communication techniques established during a teacher education program will continue to be used after graduation)
- Earn an advanced degree if you believe future job mobility and higher salaries can increase your teaching career satisfaction
- Last, any psychologist can tell you, it is important to take care of yourself. The teacher with the most satisfaction in career and life will undoubtedly be the best teacher.

"I decided to go to graduate school and earn my Master of Arts in Education because I am inspired by new knowledge. I feel in order to perform my job to the best of my ability, I need to keep up with current practices and trends in the field of education."
- Sara Marvez
-- 6th grade science teacher
"Gaining my Masters degree has earned me respect from Administrators and colleagues. Also, my salary has benefitted greatly. The cost of graduate school was paid off in only a couple years."
- Thomas Bjornson
-- high school english teacher
"Postgraduate study was a personal goal of mine and completing my Masters degree has given me a great sense of personal satisfaction, it has also increased my efficiency in the classroom and my marketability in the job market."
- Janet O'Reilly
-- 8th grade social studies teacher
"I found my online courses efficient and friendly. I had a desire to go to graduate school, but I didn't want to go through the nonsense of another undergraduate degree, bumping shoulders with students a third my age who have very little understanding of real life or the benefits of real knowledge. A friend recommended online education and I haven't looked back since.
At the age of 53, I love my job more than ever. I get so much satisfaction knowing that many of my students respect me for what I do as a teacher.
I am able to face any sort of situation that arises in my classroom with complete confidence."
- Jonathan Lloyd
-- high school chemistry teacher
