Descriere
In the first edition of "The Teaching Gap, " the authors drew on the conclusions of the 1999 Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) -- an innovative study of teaching in several cultures -- to refocus education reform efforts. Foremost among the authors' initial discoveries was that reform must start with dramatic changes in the culture of teaching. Using videotaped lessons from dozens of randomly selected eighth-grade classrooms in the United States, Japan, and Germany, the authors offered a surprising view of teaching and a bold action plan for improving education inside the American classroom. They called for a cultural shift within schools that would demand perpetual teacher training, with stricter requirements, better peer review, higher academic standards, and more shoptalk between teachers. Ten years on, the authors share their latest discoveries and offer fresh solutions for the American school system, which has long lagged behind international standards in nearly every area of academic achievement. If given the opportunity, teachers can change the way our students learn.
Recenzii
Gary K. HartSecretary of Education, State of CaliforniaProvides valuable insights and cautionary notes that should guide the education reform debate in the years ahead.
Paul L. KimmelmanSuperintendent of Schools, Northbrook, IllinoisA must for all educators, not only for the knowledge that can be gained about teaching, but also as a tool for building collaborative efforts to enhance curriculum and instruction.
Lee S. ShulmanPresident, The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of TeachingA revolutionary book...brilliantly documents the ways in which America's teaching, rather than its teachers, contributes to deficits in student learning. Stigler and Hiebert help us recognize how many opportunities other nations' teachers have to learn from one another and to improve as professionals. "The Teaching Gap" offers far better hope for the improvement of American education than most other initiatives.
Sandra FeldmanPresident, American Federation of TeachersFor a decade now we've looked hard at how other countries deliver good education. We've studied their standards, their curricula, their exams, and their student performance. Finally, here's a book that says none of this will make a difference unless teachers have a professional life -- the opportunity to develop and teach the good lessons that enable other reforms to have an impact in typical classrooms with real kids. Stigler and Hiebert's comparative analysis of Japanese, German, and U.S. teaching advises us to make schools places where teachers have the time and support to systematically study and improve upon their daily work. How sensible!
