Good Teaching

shared by Robert Ryshke on 31 Dec 11 - No Cached

    While watching a brilliant teacher in action, you too may have wondered: "What is it that makes them excellent?" Do we, as an educational community actually realise what makes a true teacher? Is it purely down to perfect pedagogy, rigorous planning and assessing, diligent resource making and clever behaviour management; or is there something more?

    A mathematical focus, but also great commentary on teacher hesitancy regarding math. Reform is NOT about "high-energy teachers [giving] vague tasks to groups of interested students."

Collaboration PLCs

    Do we care enough about allowing time for teachers to collaborate in schools? Granted the emphasis is on teaching students. I get that, but what about the need for teachers to share, exchange, grow in their work, etc. That is harder to accomplish in isolation.
  • Beth Holland on 20 Sep 11
     
    This goes back to the discussion of creating PLNs and PLNCs. Richard Byrne gave a good presentation on this a while back (http://www.slideshare.net/rbyrnetech/constructing-a-pln-3465767). Robert Jacobs' blog - Education Innovation - has been writing on this topic for years. I still refer back to this 2009 article from time to time. http://educationinnovation.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/07/welcome-to-the-revolution-the-professional-networked-learning-collaborative.html

  • Learning to practice, this book vividly illustrates, takes time and effort, trial and error. It won’t happen tomorrow. But even a small movement in the direction of more practice will reap benefits, in teaching and many other things we do.

Common Core standards reform

shared by Chris Harrow on 25 Apr 12 - No Cached
  • A quiet, sub-rosa fear is brewing among supporters of the Common Core State Standards Initiative: that the standards will die the slow death of poor implementation in K-12 classrooms.
  • By any accounting, the challenge of getting the nation's 3.2 million K-12 public school teachers ready to teach to the standards is enormous.

  • Robert Ryshke on 31 Dec 11
     
    The formal policies and agreements that establish the work rules for teachers have important consequences for what schools can and cannot do. Despite their importance, collective bargaining agreements and personnel policies too often escape public scrutiny. Read more... State governments are arguably the single most powerful authority over the teaching profession.

  • the fact that there are millions of people who, rather than examine the evidence and change their position, prefer to cling to what they were taught as children, is simply a fact of life
  • Americans seem particularly prone to this head-in-the-sands behavior.
  • Sure, it takes time to build those networks. But there is an audience out there of committed teachers who are eager for all the help they can get.

  • If no teacher has learned of, or been influenced by, our work, why should we expect society to continue to support us?

retention career teaching

shared by Chris Harrow on 23 Jun 12 - No Cached
  • I would like to go back some day when the system finally figures out how lucky it is that people are willing to teach.
  • I cannot ignore that I am leaving a profession I love dearly. Everyone in my family has been part of public education. I viewed it as a calling. I guess now the call has changed its tune.
  • I have decided to quit teaching. Maybe not forever, but definitely for a year or two. This is not a decision I came to lightly, and I did not feel triumphant in it at all. To be frank, I had never felt more defeated in my life.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • I thought schools were about learning, but it’s become more about numbers and appearances than learning. When it reached the point that I dreaded getting up and going to work in the morning, it was time to leave. Teaching is not a job you can do well if you don’t love it.

  • Parents more focused on their children’s education can also make a huge difference in a student’s achievement.
  • There’s no question that a great teacher can make a huge difference in a student’s achievement, and we need to recruit, train and reward more such teachers.
