The Annenberg Institute for School Reform and the Schott Foundation for Public Education recently released a new report, Straight Talk on Teaching Quality: Six Game-Changing Ideas and What to Do About Them.<\/em>\u00a0 The report, which is more of a guide for improving teaching effectiveness, is based on the plethora of evidence that links teaching quality and student achievement.\u00a0 Though clearly emphasizing that teaching quality is the single largest in-school influence on student learning, the guide also stresses that there are internal and external factors that have tremendous influence on teaching quality.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the report, two important caveats are put into place:\u00a0 First, as discussed above, is that teaching quality is the most important variable in student performance.\u00a0 Second, though there is not a common definition of what effective teaching looks like and how to measure it, \u201cthere is enough common ground and common knowledge right now to make better policies and implement more effective practices.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each of the six strategies is given their own chapter, and dealt with in a problem-solution manner, a short case study of a success story, and accompanied by \u201cWhat Can I Do?\u201d boxes that help educators know what questions to ask, both of themselves and policymakers, and what to advocate for.\u00a0 The strategies are:<\/p>\n

1. \u201cFollow Your Bliss: Career Pathways for Teachers\u201d<\/p>\n

2. \u201cEvaluation Nation: Multiple Ways of Measuring Performance\u201d<\/p>\n

3. \u201cSupports for Teachers, Not Just Rewards and Sanctions: Why Firing Teachers Won\u2019t Lead to Large-Scale Improvement\u201d<\/p>\n

4. \u201cEnvironmentally Friendly: Why School Culture and Working Conditions Matter\u201d<\/p>\n

5. \u201cNo Teacher is an Island: The Importance of In-School Partnerships and Teacher Collaboration\u201d<\/p>\n

6. \u201cNo School is an Island: Partnerships with Parents and Community\u201d<\/p>\n

In the end, the authors stress their definition of the effective teacher: \u201cone who helps students learn more and spreads her or his own expertise to colleagues.\u201d\u00a0 They also urge all stakeholders in public education to keep the conversation about teaching quality \u201con the right track\u201d by using the strategies in the guide as a template for what needs to be addressed.<\/p>\n
