Question

What is the ultimate goal of effective teacher education, according to the passage?

• A. To develop teachers as mere transmitters of knowledge.
• B. To discourage competition.
• C. To foster a community of practice among teachers.
• D. To enhance student achievement.

Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The question asks for the ultimate goal as stated in the passage.
We should look for keywords like goal or ultimately in the text.
The last paragraph begins with the sentence: Ultimately, the goal of teacher education is to foster a community of practice, where teachers engage in ongoing professional development, reflection and collaboration.
This sentence explicitly states the ultimate goal.
Option (C) is a direct quote from this key sentence.
Option (A) is directly contradicted by the passage (Teachers are not mere transmitters of knowledge).
