Solution: This is the way it dictates the way schools operate. Albert Shanker wants the best for each student. He's using "knowledge base" and "formal set of peer relationship." He also wants to use "national teacher examination" to test the knowledge of each lawyer and doctor. Lastly, he would require "supervised internships of from one to three years" to evaluate the performance of prospective teachers.
Problem: Radical Change
Solution: Shanker wanted the teachers to have their own board to police profession. It is used to establish standards and providing mechanism for removing incompetent teachers. Teachers would also be subjected into merit based careers ladders and would be promoted based on speciality exams.
Problem: Pick from the best
Solution: Picking academic trained for prospective teachers, new way to change recruiting teachers, and change how to reward teachers.
I have to say I agree with Seniority Distraction. It runs the school. They have a lot amount of time to work on things. Teachers have to work hard to get where they're today. It's not fair for others that are just sitting there and not do anything about it.Radical Change has come to play an important part. I feel like its judging the education majors, saying we can not do anything that put our minds to it. This problem will find a solution. Shanker would treat the teachers like an old fashioned factory.
I can absolutely agree with picking from the best. Nowadays it is hard to chose the right teacher for the job. Some people are only taking up the teaching major to have holidays, summers, and weekends off. I think that picking a teacher with a high GPA will work out much better. The school system will have the ability to see what the that person has instead of what they do on paper.
