teachers rather than demoralizing them. I don’t think teachers are any more likely to be bad at their
jobs than other white-collar professionals. That’s because teaching remains the most common first
step out of the working class and into the middle class. Maybe because that was the thing for which
young women were prepared, so they gave a lot of thought to the ways it might end badly. So I

ideas on how to improve their profession; we have not watched the best teachers at work or created

The firing-to-success idea rests on the myth that teacher are born, not made, and it is the central
theme of Green’s book. After tracing nearly two centuries of public school teaching in America,
education journalist Dana Goldstein has come to some interesting conclusions about the power
teachers have — and don't have — over the quality of education. The idea of infrastructure is one
that I find appealing for addressing quality teaching, suggesting that our work depends on more than
our individual skills and dedication, and that the responsibility for improving education belongs to

It’s a melee! And everyone is drafted in this battle, from teachers to parents to politicians to social
scientists to students themselves. But the Israel-Hamas war has made the effort much more
complicated. When top teachers are asked what would make them change jobs to work with a lower-
income population of kids, they answer “a great principal.” And we can’t forget about the problem of
deeply segregated schools, where over 90 percent of kids are poor and non-white. Please upgrade

teenager she wrote similar letters, in which she said that she truly feared marriage. There was this

someone from your own community telling you “no excuses” and someone from outside saying that.
In short, if schools were more collaborative environments, I think it would make sense for teachers to
work in a context in which they do have due process, but there are not overly mechanistic rules
pertaining to who must be retained or let go, or how long it takes. You write that seniority should be
used only as a “tie-breaker between teachers with similar levels of performance on the job,” though
you don’t specifically say how those “levels” should be determined. And if you get the job, you

Economists have estimated that over half the achievement gap could close if the best teachers were
consistently in front of the kids who need them — the kids who are poor and have low test scores.
Dana Goldstein: I want to be clear that there is no silver bullet, which is why The Teacher Wars isn’t
what I sometimes jokingly call a “fix-it book.” I make 11 recommendations in the epilogue because
there are a number of steps we could take to make teaching more effective. Her work appears in
publications like The Atlantic and Slate. There are aspects of TFA’s traditional model that I find
problematic, such as the five-week training period, and aspects of TFA that I admire greatly, such as
their ability to inspire people to become teachers in low-income schools, and to inculcate those
teachers with the belief that all children can learn. This year’s first “question-of-the-week” will be

about my adopted profession, or how Goldstein's narrative would illuminate so many other social

Advertisement I think the right way to use testing is you want to use diagnostic testing to see what a

attention for reminding us that the contemporary controversies over education policy are not new.
It’s a fabulous book that combines journalism, legal writing, and history to explain how school
segregation impacts real kids in Hartford. The superintendent in New Haven, Garth Harries, is smart
and thoughtful. Even though I used be an academic labor historian, I was still surprised by the
number of cases Goldstein cites where management used outright falsehoods to punish teachers and
fight unions. A teacher can earn a nice six-figure salary here in New York City. So I could afford to
work for very little, at least for awhile. Citing the extraordinary hours expected of charter school
teachers, former National Education Association president Dennis Van Roekel notes, “There’s a
problem when we’re creating a job you can’t do if you have kids.” So what is to be done. In New
York, gym teachers were graded on math results. Education is a universal experience, but one that

Goldstein calls for federal support for such efforts. When I feel scared to write, it's usually because I

Then I went to Brown University, where I studied history. There is this notion that second-wave
feminism effectively ruined teaching. Polling suggests teachers care more about working conditions
than salary, and they avoid segregated high-poverty schools that have, on average, high rates of
discipline problems and weaker principals. I don’t think teachers are any more likely to be bad at
their jobs than other white-collar professionals. As a conclusion to her individual remarks, Goldstein
argued that we haven’t done enough to foster community, stability, and professionalism in schools.
But actually, a lot of female teachers were not only supporting themselves but also family
members—elderly parents, sometimes younger siblings if their mother was widowed or dad was
unemployed. How could I engage them without wasting their time. I’m thinking of Athelia Knight’s
Pulitzer-nominated series about life in McKinley High School from 1987. It is not written by and
does not necessarily reflect the views of Education Week's editorial staff. We’re not offering teachers
the opportunity to excel earlier in their careers when they’re making these decisions about whether to
stay or not. Dating back to 1909 in the U.S., tenure was adapted from the highly regarded Prussian
system and was backed by reformers like Harvard president Charles William Eliot to reduce the
political influence over teacher appointments. Since I work both as a journalist and as a popular
historian, reporting can mean visiting a site, making phone calls, or just reading primary sources from
the past or diving into academic articles and books. The median income for American teachers is
similar to police officers and librarians and significantly less than accountants, registered nurses, or
dental hygienists, Goldstein reports. For nearly forty years, the wages, benefits, and working
conditions of most Americans dropped as unions successfully defended the interests of teachers. We
have to attract and retain great principals whom teachers trust as instructional leaders, and we have
to get comfortable empowering principals and teacher-leaders at the school level, even if they have
different ideas than national reformers about what makes a great school. Education reformers want
to use the rank-and-stack approach not only to reward the best teachers but also to fire the worst.
Moreover, because testing was mostly focused on math and reading in grades 3-8, two-thirds of
teachers weren’t appropriately measured. Dana Goldstein Published Jul. 20, 2011 Michelle Rhee's

teachers work to improve the craft of struggling colleagues but when that does not work, recommend
that employment be terminated. Please upgrade your browser and improve your visit to our site.
Both historically and in the present day, we have not looked to teachers themselves for ideas on how
to improve their profession; we have not watched the best teachers at work or created systems that
allow those teachers to collaborate with others to share those best practices. They resisted the fantasy
of educators as saints or saviors, and understood teaching as a job in which the potential for
children’s intellectual transcendence and social mobility, though always present, is limited by real-
world concerns such as poor training, low pay, inadequate supplies, inept administration, and
impoverished students and families. We have to shift toward more holistic, and simpler, teacher
evaluation systems, which do not overly weigh standardized test scores. Finally, she noted that the
“fire the worst teachers” theory of improvement seems particularly problematic as the issue of
teaching quality is too big, and the need for new teachers already too great. However, you comment
that there has been “little convincing research done” on them. Do you have a particular audience in

Anthony is just incredibly prescient and so self-aware for a 17-year-old girl, especially if you think of

Since joining The Times in 2017, she has covered the teacher walkout movement, changes in how
students are selected for gifted programs and debates over school segregation, writing instruction,
pre-K teaching methods and private school vouchers. But looking at literature about

Schools Across the South The cold-weather closures affected about a million children in a region
known for its mild winters. People used to think the television and the VHS would transform public
education. I also read widely, from government reports, research journals, historical accounts and
many other sources. But if you look at surveys of teachers and you ask high-performing teachers,
“What could make you take on a more challenging job working with needier kids?” they all say stuff
like, “Working conditions really matter to me, so I would really like to be in a school with a great
principal.” That turns out to be sort of the No. 1 driver of whether teachers want to work someplace,
and it’s not surprising, when you think about it. It also turns out that the underlying theories behind
value-added measurement and performance pay have a century of failed experiments behind them as
well. Over the years, opponents of tenure have included Southerners who wanted to fire black
teachers in newly integrated schools and black nationalists, who wanted to fire white teachers in
black schools. The difference is that other professions often have more established training and
mentoring procedures to help practitioners improve, and teaching, for the most part, lacks that. We’re
not offering teachers the opportunity to excel earlier in their careers when they’re making these

schools where they have worked. That’s why producer Sally Herships and I have structured this
podcast to do exactly that: To have a dialogue between a teacher of gifted kids and a researcher on
giftedness; to interview one teacher who fled a high-poverty high school alongside another who
stayed; and to talk to instructional experts about what parents should look for when they visit
schools in which they’re considering enrolling their children. But what we’ve done in the past 10
years or so is we’ve set up our testing systems not to find out what kids know and what kids can do
and how to help kids, but really to judge teachers and to figure out if teachers are effective. We need
less rating and ranking and more replicating. Susanna's research focuses broadly on education policy

Likewise, the idea that financial bonuses could systematically connect great teachers with low-
