What, exactly, makes a teacher effective?


The Gates Foundation just gave $290M to education.   A separate $45 million research initiative will study 3,700 classroom teachers in six cities to "develop objective and reliable measures of effective teaching"

When I googled "What makes a teacher effective?" one of the first hits was a sample of quotes collected for a UNESCO book entitled What makes a Good Teacher? (1996). Over 500 children from some 50 countries aged 8-12 contributed their opinions.

    You are busted using a wordle! Didn't you disparage the wordle a couple of weeks ago? I had silently agreed with you on posters in the class, and that use of the wordle. Cheers on using it outside of the poster context. Should I take the time to reverse engineer it to find what your document was?
