Woe to the standardized test, bastard child of ed reform and a dated and industrialized approach learning. Damning evidence of the failure of our collective imagination to design ways to help children come to understand what’s worth understanding.

Pareto principle - 80% of problems can be attributed to 20% of causes | #Quality #Time 

Pareto principle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pareto principle (also known as the 80-20 rule, the law of the vital few, and the principle of factor sparsity) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. Management consultant Joseph M.

In computer science and engineering control theory, such as for electromechanical energy converters, the Pareto principle can be applied to optimization efforts.[11]

For example, Microsoft noted that by fixing the top 20% of the most-reported bugs, 80% of the related errors and crashes in a given system would be eliminated.[12]

In load testing, it is common practice to estimate that 80% of the traffic occurs during 20% of the time.[citation needed]

In software engineering, Lowell Arthur expressed a corollary principle: "20 percent of the code has 80 percent of the errors. Find them, fix them!"[13]

Software frameworks have often been observed to make 80% of use cases easier to implement and 20% of use cases much more difficult to implement.[14]

In the mobile game industry, it has been noted that for free-to-play games, over 50% of the game's profit comes from 0.5% of the players.[15][16]

Paretoprinzip – #Quality #Time 

Paretoprinzip - Wikipedia

Die Verteilung mit 80 und 20 im Pareto-Prinzip führt oftmals zu der falschen Annahme, dass die Summe von 100 für ähnliche Verteilungen zwingend sei. Demzufolge sind in der Verallgemeinerung des Prinzips nur solche Verteilungen möglich, bei denen sich k Prozent des Erfolgs auf (100 − k) Prozent aller Bemühungen zurückführen lassen.

Das Paretoprinzip, benannt nach Vilfredo Pareto (1848–1923), auch Pareto-Effekt, 80-zu-20-Regel, besagt, dass 80 % der Ergebnisse mit 20 % des Gesamtaufwandes erreicht werden. Die verbleibenden 20 % der Ergebnisse benötigen mit 80 % die meiste Arbeit.

Teacherpreneurs: Changing education from the inside out | CTQ

Teacherpreneurs: Changing education from the inside out | CTQ | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

What if teachers could lead without leaving the classroom—and in doing so, incubate and execute their own policy and pedagogical ideas?

In recent years, the Center for Teaching Quality has supported two dozen teacherpreneurs — expert teachers who typically have a reduced teaching load of 50% — to lead bold reforms at the school, district, state and national levels. In partnership with districts (and with philanthropic financial support), teacherpreneurs like Noah Zeichner, Ali Wright, Jessica Cuthbertson and Julie Hiltz have achieved remarkable results for students, schools and the profession.

These classroom experts have generated powerful proof points for CTQ’s bold brand of teacher leadership, documented in a series of case studies. Their experiences have also yielded “lessons learned” that we can share with others interested in this model:


Extra time yields extraordinary results. 


The best teacherpreneurs “lead from the middle.


Technology keeps teacher leaders connected with the world while based in the classroom.


Relationships matter.


Blurring the lines between policy and practice makes each stronger.


When educators can teach and lead, they and their schools benefit.

Toyota had this idea many years ago - creative thinking time - what teachers have always wanted ...It actually does work!

Tony Palmeri's curator insight, October 24, 2015 10:12 AM

I chose this resources because I was interested in the concept of "teacherpreneurs". The opportunity to be afforded the time to engage in policy development and leadership roles is certainly terrific. I've always felt the influence from the ground level (teachers) is seldom felt. Instead, influence remains with the research community and union organizations. Of the specific points described in this article is that "The best teacherpreneurs lead from the middle". Teachers respond to others who are dealing with the same pressures and stresses associated with teaching. 

Shelly Reckow VanVoorst's curator insight, October 25, 2015 5:57 PM

I scooped this article because more and more the topic of teacherpreneurs is coming up.  I like the idea of teachers as leaders, and even helping with policies.  It will be interesting to see if this expands more in the future. I hope that teachers reading this article watch this course of study/action closely and take part in it when they can, as we need more teachers to move into leadership and even into advocacy roles for education.

Quality teaching can be an elusive topic because of the broad definition of what can make teaching a high quality effort. These are some solid areas to focus on to improve your quality of teaching. How many have you implemented?

SMARTERTEACHER's curator insight, November 12, 2014 1:00 PM

I like the list but would prefer that Content not be the first thing to show up.  There are a great many people who know content, but could not teach their way out of a paper bag. 

Ness Crouch's curator insight, July 9, 2015 8:20 PM

I certainly have to agree but could I add more? The only addition I think I would make would be having learners as the centre of all of the above. ;)
