experience.

The Problem
The Performance Gap
Great Teacher
![Page 6: Teacher Perceptions of Hindrances to Classroom Effectiveness What do Pennsylvania’s Secondary CTE Teachers Consider the Greatest Obstacles to Becoming](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfc61a28abf838ca6fd0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Two Attempts at a Solution
Training – to affect his mind.
Exhortation/Cheerleading – to motivate his spirit.
Oh no. Not
again.
![Page 7: Teacher Perceptions of Hindrances to Classroom Effectiveness What do Pennsylvania’s Secondary CTE Teachers Consider the Greatest Obstacles to Becoming](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfc61a28abf838ca6fd0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Is this a solution?It would be a solution if the whole problem consisted in either a lack of training or a lack of conviction.
Really, it is more of thesame near-miss strategyproviding more of whatthe teacher already has.

The Problem Remains
Why?
Because those who have the power to edit Mr. Composite’s teaching practice are giving him more of what he already has – more training and more motivation.

New InsightWe need new insight into what stands between the teacher, and real pedagogical excellence.
To whom to we go for that new insight?
Great Teacher

To Whom do We Traditionally Go for Answers? (In my experience)
• Educational Theorists– Providing research based information
• Educational Policy-Makers– Providing guidelines based on research
• Educational Administrators– Providing training and guidelines based on
research and public policy.

Are we Missing Someone Whose Opinion We Should Consider?
Is this good stuff? Would you buy it? Would you eat it?

Are we asking the right people?
Educational Theorists
Educational Policy-Makers
Educational Administrators
What about Educators?

Let’s assume that there is benefit in many and varied instructional theories and styles.
Let’s assume that teachers could become excellent instructors if they consistently applied any of several, valid, research-based methodologies.
My question is not, “Which teaching method is best and produces the best results.”
My question is, “What is keeping teachers from doing their best at any teaching method.”

Why Ask This Question• Measureable Student Achievement• Measureable Student Achievement• Measureable Student AchievementIt’s good for the student, and good for society.
How do we get there?Teacher effectiveness has a measureable, accumulative and residual impact on student achievement. In fact, it probably has the greatest impact. If not, it certainly has the greatest impact of anything that we teachers can control. So…
It’s personal.
