In a recent article, Time <\/em>blogger Andrew Rotherham argues that not only should parents take care when picking their child\u2019s school, but they should be able to go so far as to pick their child\u2019s teacher as well.\u00a0 He argues that even in good schools, teacher effectiveness is so variable that there is still no guarantee each child will have a great teacher.\u00a0 He notes that while school choice is a hotly debated topic, there has been no concerted effort to \u201cempower families\u201d by giving them the right to pick their teachers.<\/p>\n

Rotherham cites several large-scale studies that support the idea that students who are consistently placed in classrooms where the teacher is at least average makes a big difference in outcomes and long-term achievement.\u00a0 Furthermore, he cites a recent study by the National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research that found teacher effectiveness is more variable within<\/em> schools than across schools, particularly in high-poverty schools.\u00a0 But the best teachers at high-poverty schools are just as good as the best teachers elsewhere\u2014and conversely, even good schools have bad teachers.<\/p>\n

Rotherham is clear that he is not arguing that parents should just try to \u201cfind the good teachers in an overall lousy school,\u201d but rather to dig deeper.\u00a0 Talk with other parents to find out about their child\u2019s school and teachers.\u00a0 Do other parents try to avoid certain teachers or get their child placed with particular teachers?\u00a0 Then make your own preferences known to school officials before they make class assignments.\u00a0 They may not accommodate, but at the same time, it is important to make your preferences known.\u00a0 After all, \u201csqueaky wheels do get the grease.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bottom line for Rotherham is that parents need to become more actively involved in their child\u2019s class placements.\u00a0 Leave the arguing about teacher effectiveness to the union leaders and policy advocates; the \u201cmost salient finding from the research about teacher quality is simply that parents cannot afford to treat their children\u2019s education as a spectator sport.\u201d<\/p>\n
