Reflection on the essay On Stir-and-Serve Recipes for Teaching by Susan Ohanian
The first thing I want to touch base on with this essay is the quote, "There is no instant, stir-and-serve recipe for running a classroom" (Ohanian 118). This is a very true statement. You cannot put together a room full of aspiring teachers and teach them how to teach. Everyone learns differently. A professor can't tell education majors exactly what to expect when entering the field. Sure, they can give out advice and personal experiences to give ideas but us, the education majors, still will not know what being a teacher is truly like until we get there. There is no stir-and-serve recipe but things like class visits, interning, student teaching, and service hours can definitely help and make a difference.
