What if Finland's great teachers taught in U.S. schools? - The Washington Post - 0 views

  • In many under-performing nations, I notice, three fallacies of teacher effectiveness prevail.
  • The first belief is that “the quality of an education system cannot exceed the quality of its teachers.”
  • The second fallacy is that “the most important single factor in improving quality of education is teachers.”

  • The third fallacy is that “If any children had three or four great teachers in a row, they would soar academically, regardless of their racial or economic background, while those who have a sequence of weak teachers will fall further and further behind”.
  • Lessons from high-performing school systems, including Finland, suggest that we must reconsider how we think about teaching as a profession and what is the role of the school in our society.
  • First, standardization should focus more on teacher education and less on teaching and learning in schools.
  • Second, the toxic use of accountability for schools should be abandoned.
  • Third, other school policies must be changed before teaching becomes attractive to more young talents.
