Was she involved in modern teacher prep at the University level as an instructor?
Nobody considers university level as teachers.
When you say teachers, we think K-12.
There is a huge jump between a teacher and a professor. I may have not agreed with many of my professors, even the adjuncts, but never did I think any of them were complete morons.
Most of my high school teachers though were idiots who were simply teachers because they didn’t have the ability to do anything else.
Two of my best friends in the world are a nuclear engineer and an English professor at OSU and both can give each other a run for their money intellectually.
At your level you aren’t really teaching, you are perfecting.
