    Simple idea. Wait for at least five seconds for the room to become completely silent, then give your instructions. If you try to talk over people, you only perpetuate more talking because individuals miss what you said originally and then end up asking their neighbor for the information.

  • I was once asked by a group of educational state representatives if the flipped classroom would allow them to hire less teachers.  
  • They had the misguided notion that teaching is the pouring out of information from one person (the teacher) into another (the student).
  • teaching is a social interaction between teacher and students and students and students.  Our students need us more than they need a video made by someone they don’t know teaching them something they may or may not want to learn about.

  • nstead, teachers take on the role of a facilitator of learning.  They are able to work with students in small groups and have more one-on-one interactions.
  • Flipped Learning
  • We resort to lecture and didactic instruction sometimes out of necessity (I believe that there is still a time and place for the teacher to be the expert), but mostly out of insecurity. It just *feels* good to instruct and weave a compelling story for students. It *feels* like you’re doing work. It also *looks* like you’re doing work, which keeps the parents and admins happy.

  • Lots of work offers the opposite conclusion, such as Pew surveys finding that kids who text the most also socialize the most in person.
  • If kids can’t socialize, who should parents blame? Simple: They should blame themselves. This is the argument advanced in It’s Complicated: The Social Lives of Networked Teens, by Microsoft researcher Danah Boyd.

Why Do Teachers Quit? - Liz Riggs - The Atlantic - 0 views

teacher retention turnover

shared by Jill Bergeron on 02 Jan 14 - No Cached
  • Ingersoll extrapolated and then later confirmed that anywhere between 40 and 50 percent of teachers will leave the classroom within their first five years
  • ut, turnover in teaching is about four percent higher than other professions.
  • Why are all these teachers leaving—or not even entering the classroom in the first place?
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • “Teachers in schools do not call the shots. They have very little say. They’re told what to do; it’s a very disempowered line of work.”
  • if you want to have a family, or you want to have some leisure time, you know, how do you sustain that?”
  • many young teachers soon realize they must do overwhelming amounts of after-hours work. They pour out emotional energy into their work, which breeds quick exhaustion. And they experience the frustrating uphill battle that comes along with teaching—particularly in low-performing schools.
  • What people are asked to do is only the kind of thing that somebody can do for two or three years; you couldn’t sustain that level of intensity throughout a career,” said Thomas Smith, a professor at Vanderbilt University’s education school.
  • Many of them cited “personal reasons,” ranging from individual stress levels to work-life balance struggles.
  • “What many of them working in high-need schools told me, however, was that being successful at school directly conflicted with being successful husbands and fathers. While this is certainly true of any occupation, most occupations don't leave your children asking you, ‘Why do you go to more basketball games of the kids at school than mine?’"
  • Higher pay doesn’t necessarily lead to a better retention rate, though.
  • Most teachers sounded simply frustrated, overworked and underpaid—sentiments that are certainly echoed in the research. 
  • “Those schools that do a far better job of managing and coping with and responding to student behavioral issues have far better teacher retention,”
  • “Respected, well-paid lines of work do not have shortages,”
  • If the overall attractiveness of teaching as a profession gets better, the best teachers will enter the profession, stay, and help increase the effectiveness of schools.
