What teachers really want to tell parents - CNN.com - 0 views

  • This summer, I met a principal who was recently named as the administrator of the year in her state. She was loved and adored by all, but she told me she was leaving the profession. I screamed, "You can't leave us," and she quite bluntly replied, "Look, if I get an offer to lead a school system of orphans, I will be all over it, but I just can't deal with parents anymore; they are killing us."

    Sometimes difficult parents can drive away the best of teachers, but so too can difficult teachers make life hard for parents.  How can we best foster positive cooperation between educators and parents?

What Americans Keep Ignoring About Finland's School Success - Anu Partanen - The Atlantic - 0 views

  • Finland's schools owe their newfound fame primarily to one study: the PISA survey, conducted every three years by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The survey compares 15-year-olds in different countries in reading, math, and science. Finland has ranked at or near the top in all three competencies on every survey since 2000, neck and neck with superachievers such as South Korea and Singapore. In the most recent survey in 2009 Finland slipped slightly, with students in Shanghai, China, taking the best scores, but the Finns are still near the very top. Throughout the same period, the PISA performance of the United States has been middling, at best.
  • Compared with the stereotype of the East Asian model -- long hours of exhaustive cramming and rote memorization -- Finland's success is especially intriguing because Finnish schools assign less homework and engage children in more creative play. All this has led to a continuous stream of foreign delegations making the pilgrimage to Finland to visit schools and talk with the nation's education experts, and constant coverage in the worldwide media marveling at the Finnish miracle.
  •  
    Finland has attained amazing results with their education policies in the last decade, surprising many because its students have shorter days, less work, and more time to be creative (a very different model from its competitors in East Asia).  What can America learn from this system as we try to reform our own education system?

Education Week: Qualified Math Teachers Elusive for Struggling Students, Studies Find - 0 views

  • In many schools in the United States, students struggling the most in mathematics at the start of high school have the worst odds of getting a qualified teacher in the subject, new research finds. Succeeding in freshman-level mathematics is critical for students to stay on track to high school graduation, with students who make poor grades in math in 8th and 9th grades more likely to leave school entirely.
  •  
    Two new studies show that in average- and low-performing schools, students in the low-level math classes are significantly less likely to have a qualified math teacher than those students in the high-level classes.
