• W827559713 abstract "Ever since the National Commission on Excellence in Education released its document entitled A Nation at Risk, educational leaders have put numerous reform efforts into place aimed at improving the quality of education in the United States. Significant research points to the fact that improved teacher support is a key element of this reform. The author outlines data to emphasize the importance of teacher support, particularly in at-risk public high schools, while offering some practical reflections from a high school principal of such a setting.Still a Nation at RiskIn 1983, the National Commission on Excellence in Education released a document entitled A Nation at Risk, revealing how the United States had fallen behind other countries in education and expressing the urgency for improvement of the educational system. Ensuing policies initially resulted in expanded resources to increase per-pupil spending and decrease class sizes but did not result in any significant increases in performance (Hanushek, 2008). Hanushek (2008) offered one explanation for this lack of progress: The United States had not paid enough attention to teacher quality and effectiveness. He purported that improving the quality of teachers is a key element to improving student performance.One of the ways that schools have identified teachers as being effective or ineffective is to assess effectiveness via students performance. According to Hanushek (2008),If a student had a good teacher as opposed to an average teacher for 4-5 years in a row, the increased learning would be sufficient to close entirely the average gap between a typical low-income student and one who is not on free or reduced lunch, (p* 8)Hanushek's (2008) assertion that having ineffective teachers damages students was the basis for his proposal of deselecting these ineffective teachers by removing them from the classroom. Typically, the process of deselection is an extreme proposal and one that is undertaken when supervisors have exhausted all efforts to support the teachers effectiveness. Therefore, school leaders who are devoted to improving student performance would benefit from examining the type of support teachers receive for quality of instruction in the classroom.Teacher Preparation and Administrative SupportNations other than the United States that have realized significant increases in student achievement have allegedly done so by making a greater investment in teacher education. One such nation is Finland, a country that catapulted from one of the least successful educational countries in the 1970s to one of the top-ranking countries today. In Finland, teachers'preparation included both extensive coursework on how to teach-with a strong emphasis on using research based on state-of-the-art practice-and at least a full year of clinical experience in a school associated with the university (Darling-Hammond, 2010, Improving Teaching, para. 3). Additionally, preparation programs provided student teachers with a model for professional practice that included time for planning; opportunities to improve their teaching through continual reflection, evaluation, and problem solving; and the provision of significant time for collaboration among colleagues (Darling-Hammond, 2010). Along with other initiatives, such extensive teacher training and professional development have been reform components that have allowed Finland to rise toward the top of the educational world, even in light of a rapidly growing number of immigrant students (Darling-Hammond, 2010).Administrative support with a systemic emphasis on professional practice and focus on extensive teacher training and professional development is particularly relevant in schools with academically at-risk populations. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), a primary source for providing educators with data obtained from national teacher surveys, conducted a survey in 1994-1995 specifically targeting teachers new to the profession. …" @default.
