Does having your MA in a subject mean you're qualified to be an educator???

I found this article interesting and wanted to engage the teaching community with it. The article addresses the future of the teaching profession, and what defines a qualified teacher. It mentions two opposing groups: Professionalism Advocates and Deregulation Advocates:

Can you expand on this? What's your opinion?

As a teacher-in-training I've always wondered about how teachers viewed other teachers with different background and training. This site gave some great insight!

I am not a professional teacher but I have taught technical classes before, so please take my opinion as more the "man on the street" viewpoint.

In my career travels I have worked with some very intelligent and highly skilled people but have found that the ability to teach is a totally separate skill.

A good example is Professor Steven Hawking. In his book "A Brief History of Time" he is able to take some of the most intense ideas about astrophysics and make it relatively understandable to the average person. THAT is a good teacher but you would not find that ability in most astrophysicists.

IF you are fully qualified which means that you have experience in the field and if you have college units like I do. I have 18 units and enrolled in 9.0 units and I have 4 years Experienced working with infants toddlers and 3's.
