This was certainly an eye opener that many of the skills I am learning as a pre-service teacher in the areas of ITC and pedagogy relate directly to skills that are desired in the workforce.  This strengthens my resolve to be able to teach students using these pedagogies to ensure that they are successful in their lives post schooling.

Why are the best players sitting on the bench? | CTQ | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Teacher expertise.



Why? Here are a few reasons from the researchers on why teacher expertise in education policy (development, implementation, reflection, etc.) is important:






  • Reform can be problematic if teachers do not have a voice in education policy changes and the policy agenda (Wells, 2012; Bangs & Frost, 2012).
  • Teacher voice and teacher leadership is vital for the success of reform movements (Little, 1988; Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, 2011; Wells, 2012; York-Barr & Duke, 2004).
  • There is a chasm between current education policy and what teachers know and experience as practitioners (Bangs & Frost, 2012).
  • There is a huge gap between policy and practice in education (Berry et al., 2013).
  • We have a history of failed education reforms and policies with very little teacher input, and if there is teacher input, it may not be in meaningful ways. Think “rubber stamp” (Goldstein, 2014; Ravitch, 2011; anyone who looks at the history of education).


Teachers are the experts who will help identify the problem, the root cause of the problem, and the possible policy solution(s).

So the checklist? It’s a great start. But I have a to ask a question that could make it even stronger.

"Von Lehrern kann erwartet werden, dass sie über ihr Fach hinausdenken, mit anderen Berufen kooperieren."

 

Von den Schülern kann man keine wesentlich besseren Fähigkeiten zur Interaktion und Beteiligung erwarten, als das alltägliche Vorbild in der Schulgemeinschaft zulässt. Die wichtigste Aufgabe der Schule ist es daher, den Boden für eine Gesellschaft des Vertrauens zu bereiten. Und von Lehrern kann erwartet werden, dass sie über ihr Fach hinausdenken, mit anderen Berufen kooperieren.

How To Be a Teacher Leader | CTQ | LEARNing To Learn | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
  • Be the thing you teach.
  • Be the expert of your classroom.
  •  Be data savvy.
  • Be continually reflective on your practice.
  • Be able to defend your practice.
This directive is similar to the data-savvy and expert points, but teacher leaders need to be able to explain their craft. Your administrator will be trotting all kinds of people through your classroom.  As a teacher leader, you might be a maverick, doing things a little differently than the rest of the herd. Be prepared to defend that road less traveled.  Know why you do the things you do.  Then, as a leader, share everything you know.
