Caution: This is a Scary Story

slide-7
SLIDE 7

LA Unified School District has hundreds of teachers who preside over remarkable successes, year after year, often against incredible odds. But…most are like Zenaida Tan, working in

  • bscurity. No one asks them their secrets. Most of

the time, no one even says, "Good job." Often even their own colleagues and principals don't know who they are. Tan brims with effective ways to reach limited- English students, handle discipline problems and keep the kids engaged. "I do a lot of singing, games," she said. "It doesn't look like a lesson."

SLIDE 8

But no one asks for her advice. She says her fellow teachers at Morningside consider her strict, even mean. She tends to keep to herself. "Nobody tells me that I'm a strong teacher," she says. That's OK by her, she adds. Year after year, she watches her students make enormous progress and feels a quiet sense of satisfaction. By LAUSD's measure, Tan "meets standard performance," as virtually all district teachers do -- evaluators' only other option is "below standard performance."

SLIDE 9

On a recent evaluation, her principal checked off all the appropriate boxes, Tan said -- then noted that she had been late to pick up her students from recess three times. "I threw it away because I got upset," Tan said. "Why don't you focus on my teaching?! Why don't you focus on where my students are?“

Achievement Gaps

For Example

There is no achievement gap that some teacher, somewhere has not closed. We just need to find her and study her.

What Also Happens When You Study Teachers

slide-35
SLIDE 35

Cultural Capital

Any non-financial social asset that promotes an individual’s status beyond their economic means. When you have it, you are important

slide-36
SLIDE 36

When we study teachers and honor them, when we ask teachers to participate in building the knowledge base of the profession, we increase their cultural capital and make the profession higher status.

It Starts with Data

  • People will resist data at first.
  • That won’t last if you use it well.
  • Data is a management tool.
  • Accountability and autonomy live together

Teachers Are Performers Too

slide-46
SLIDE 46

More Effective Professional Development

  • Embedded in school culture/operating systems
  • By teachers more than “at” them.
  • Sustained vs. “One-and-Done”
  • Based on what high performing teachers do
  • Solves “Real World” challenges for teachers
  • For teachers at all skill levels, especially high

performers

  • Supported by subject-specific guidance
  • Practice + Planning + Content Knowledge
  • Safe to struggle and learn
