In an effort to move our meeting from the nuts and bolts discussion to a PLN I got to think about these.
Here are three popular statements about teacher quality. These would provide great discussion for a staff meeting.
1. The quality of an education system cannot exceed the quality of its teachers.
2. The most important single factor in improving quality of education is teachers.
3. If any children had three or four great teachers in a row, they would soar academically, regardless of their racial or economic background, while those who have a sequence of weak teachers will fall further and further behind.
