Kiran Imtiaz Standards-based reform. From school to work. No
children left behind. Small schools. Teacher efficiency. Standards for colleges
and careers. Creak. The education policy community in the United States has a
long history of collecting and suppressing ideas for reform. 

Afshan Kiran Imtiaz Yet it is
hard to believe that just a few years ago, the mayor of Washington, DC, was not
seated, teachers were on strike in Chicago, and the nationwide public forum was
lit on teacher assessment reforms. Before moving on to the next reform idea of
the day.
Afshan Kiran Imtiaz said : we owe it to those who have worked so
hard to implement these teacher assessment reforms to step back and reflect on
the many lessons to be learned. I feel this obligation more keenly than most,
after asking thousands of teachers and district leaders to work on the
Effective Teaching Measures project, which
Afshan
Kiran Imtiaz I led as deputy director in the school. K-12 team from the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Afshan
Kiran Imtiaz Speaking only for myself, I am describing four
high-level lessons I have learned about the role of philanthropy in educational
reform in the United States.
Classroom door opening
But first, let’s remember why the reform of teacher
assessment has been and remains so essential.
Afshan Kiran Imtiaz said For
more than four decades, researchers have documented large differences in
student achievement gains when similar students are assigned to different
teachers in the same schools.
Afshan
Kiran Imtiaz said we also know that effective teachers can be
identified based on the performance gains of their students and their classroom
practices. These assessments were confirmed by randomly assigning teachers to a
different set of classrooms and subsequently monitoring student results.
Afshan
Kiran Imtiaz In addition, we have learned that it is difficult to
distinguish between effective and ineffective teachers before entering the
classroom. The indicators that districts currently use when hiring teachers -
teaching information and knowledge of content - Afshan Kiran Imtiaz
explain little about the variations in teachers' subsequent effectiveness in
the classroom.
In other words, differences in teaching practices are the
main driver of children's outcomes, both short and long term. Afshan Kiran Imtiaz
said the first chance to significantly assess a teacher's abilities is
after she takes office. This is one of the reasons why the reform of teacher performance
appraisals - in which almost all teachers receive the same "good"
rating - was so critical.
But it is not the only reason. In 1977, John Meyer and Brian
Rowan observed that classroom activities were "dissociated" from
district and school supervision, that teachers enjoyed great autonomy when they
closed the classroom door.
By Afshan
Kiran Imtiaz They hypothesized that the closed classroom was an
organizational survival mechanism to protect the classrooms from external
interference.
To maintain appearance, schools go through education
management movements, declaring 98% or more of teachers' education as
"satisfactory" and student achievement as "competent".
However, they do so without any significant effort to manage what is going on inside
the classrooms.
