A Story

LA Unified School District has hundreds of Jaime
Escalantes -- teachers who preside over
remarkable successes, year after year, often
against incredible odds. But nobody is making a
film about them.
Most are like Zenaida Tan, working in obscurity.
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.
![Page 6: Doug Lemov presentation - Policy Exchange/Teach First](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020208/55a619231a28abd6098b456c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
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."
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.
![Page 7: Doug Lemov presentation - Policy Exchange/Teach First](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020208/55a619231a28abd6098b456c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
By LAUSD's measure, Tan "meets standard
performance," as virtually all district teachers do -
- evaluators' only other option is "below standard
performance." 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?"

For ExampleThere is no achievement
gap that some teacher,
somewhere has not
closed. We just need to
identify, study and share.

Human Capital
“The quality of a school (system) can never exceed the
quality of its teachers.”
Either you get that or you fail. ‘Charter’ doesn’t matter.
Effective schools use every tool they can to honor, develop,
understand and study their teachers.
