• W804589234 abstract "[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Teacher leadership is popular today for a simple reason--it's a terrific thing. And lots of people, from Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to your corner grocer, have been telling teachers that they deserve to lead and to be heard. The harsh truth, though, is that no one deserves these things--whether one is a doctor, lawyer, cop, or teacher. While everyone can desire them, leadership and a seat at the table always must be earned. This matters--a lot. Frustrated by schools and systems that consume their time and passion, teachers can find it all too easy to retreat to their classrooms. But doing so leaves them trapped in a classroom cage, stuck with systems and policies that they find frustrating or incoherent. Cage-busting teachers reach out in ways that identify the problems and surface workable solutions. There are problems of policy and practice that befuddle teachers and need to be addressed. Consider the example of Alex Lopes, Florida Teacher of the Year in 2013. The state's new teacher evaluation system mandated that 50% of a teacher's evaluation be based on student achievement, with teachers in nontested grades scored using schoolwide achievement. As a preschool autism teacher, Lopes had no tested students; thus, he was judged using school-wide results from his high-poverty, low-performing school. His score was predictably poor, with the result that he was deemed ineffective and rendered ineligible for teacher leadership roles. In the midst of this, Lopes mused to colleagues that if he taught at a more successful he'd be classified as an effective teacher and free to be a mentor, coach, or teacher leader. No one meant for this to happen. But no one prevented it either. Passion has its price When confronted with these kinds of troubling policies, it's all too easy for teachers to speak up in destructive ways. Passionate people tend to be sure of their convictions and in a hurry to act on them. can be good and admirable. But passion also can have real costs. It can leave us impatient, make us strident, and lead us to dismiss the views of others. It can make us better at talking than at listening. Passionate people aren't always great at understanding why others might disagree, which can make it hard to win over people or assuage their concerns. Michelle Shearer, a high school chemistry teacher in Maryland and the 2011 National Teacher of the Year, said, That passion can be good and bad. Teachers often feel that they have no voice, so when they do speak up, all of that emotion comes to the surface. And it can come across as complaining or whining. Passion can lead people to say things that erode their credibility, making it harder to address their concerns. In early 2014, Michael Mulgrew, president of New York City's United Federation of Teachers, told 3,400 union delegates, We are at war with the reformers.... Their ideas will absolutely destroy--forget about public education--they will destroy education in our country. It can be all too easy for teachers to let their frustration get the better of them. Everybody thinks they're an educational expert because everybody went to school, as the saying goes. Well, no. For one thing, most people don't think they're educational experts. For another, lawmakers have a job to do--write laws about how to spend money and provide services. More to the point, many advocates and policy makers do have some expertise when it comes to schooling. They've spent years talking to educators, studying schools and school systems, examining data, crafting education laws, and wrestling with implementation challenges. They frequently bring real knowledge to the table. If practitioners want outsiders to acknowledge their passion and expertise, they'd benefit from modeling that same respect. A sympathetic ear This should be easy advice to heed because teachers enjoy a sympathetic audience. …" @default.
