Teacher Mastery: Green Eggs and Ham - 0 views

Jeff Bernstein on 28 Dec 11Everyone "knows" quality teaching because we were all students at one time. Unfortunately this statement is not at all true and it is many times the root of all evils in whats wrong with education today. The question then is what's quality teaching or, as it's labeled in the world education, MASTERY teaching and how is it recognized? The first misnomer that must be dispelled is that the mastery level can be attained quickly, in just a couple years; and that any successful college graduate can enter a classroom full of students, having read the text book and teach the content well. Teaching mastery is attained over time, it cannot be sped up.
