As I see it the problem is that we, as teachers, gain our knowledge and experience about learning through intuition. Teacher training is primarily about operations and philosophy. That makes our profession vulnerable. Also instructional design is subject based. If you know the subject you can make a course and put it on a learning platform or teach it. That’s why many believe that computers can replace education.

Teacher training needs to be about learning. Teacher internship should be aligned with a learning theory. This would make teacher certification substantial and definable.

Learning is complex.  But if we want to get from intuition to a certified training program, we have to embrace that complexity and understand the systemic nature of it.  We have to know the theory and how to practice it.
