Building a Better Teacher

Here's a lengthy article on the quality of teaching happening in our schools.

If you're looking, more and more of the articles cropping up in newspapers are focusing on teachers and quality of teaching. I hope we can keep our ears to the ground here.

Link to NYT Magazine article.

Here's a link for one of the books, Creating a New Teaching Profession, mentioned in the article. It can be purchased on Amazon as well. And here's a .pdf preview of that same book.

Thanks, Larry, for sharing these great articles. There seems to be a national trend to have teachers run their classrooms effectively rather than have the students "call the shots" and produce few results.

I certainly agree that there is a call to have teacher's run their classrooms effectively.
