It is projected that over the next decade, one million teachers will retire from the profession.\u00a0 This estimate forms the basis of the current Department of Education policy objectives to transform the teaching profession by reforming teacher evaluation systems, identifying and rewarding effective teachers while removing the ineffective, and recruiting a \u201cnew brand\u201d of teacher.<\/p>\n

M. Rene Islas, Director of Learning Forward\u2019s Center for Results, recently blogged about his concerns with these policies.\u00a0 When one-third of the nation\u2019s teachers will be exiting the profession, we will lose more than just a body in the classroom:<\/p>\n

\u201cI worry about the loss of what Dorothy Leonard and Walter Swap call “deep smarts” within schools. In their book <\/em>Deep Smarts, Leonard and Swap describe how experienced professionals carry a highly sophisticated mixture of explicit and tacit knowledge. This knowledge is developed over time when experiencing variants of common problems.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

To preserve deep smarts, school leaders must intentionally facilitate the transfer of knowledge among staff.\u00a0 A system of collaboration must be implemented, including practices like coaching, teaming, and guided experimentation.\u00a0 All of these activities facilitate the generation and transfer of deep smarts.\u00a0 Islas observes that the current move toward \u201ctargeted PD\u201d and \u201canytime PD\u201d via online modules cause an isolation effect and are moving in the opposite direction of collaborative professional learning.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn times of change and great turnover in our profession we must focus on strategies that cultivate and transfer effective practice from teacher to teacher.\u00a0 By doing so, we accelerate the growth and development of novice teachers, retain and spread the effective practice of the most effective teachers, and keep our best teachers engaged in continuous improvement throughout their profession.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n


\n<\/em>He proposes three policies and programs that can be adopted to promote the transfer of \u201cdeep smarts\u201d across the profession and prevent it from \u201cevaporating\u201d when large groups of teachers retire:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Adopt a new definition of professional learning that drives PD decisions to the school level and emphasizes collaboration.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Offer programs to increase administrators\u2019 skills and abilities to facilitate school-based PD and coaching.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Require that extended learning time designs contemplate structured learning time for educators as well as students.<\/p>\n
