Teaching for All? Teach For America's Effects Across the Distribution of Student Achievement

ABSTRACT

This article examines the effect of Teach For America (TFA) on the distribution of student achievement in elementary school. It extends previous research by estimating quantile treatment effects (QTE) to examine how student achievement in TFA and non-TFA classrooms differs across the broader distribution of student achievement. It also updates prior distributional work on TFA by correcting for previously unidentified missing data and estimating unconditional rather than conditional QTE. Consistent with previous findings, results reveal a positive impact of TFA teachers across the distribution of math achievement. In reading, however, relative to veteran non-TFA teachers, students at the bottom of the reading distribution score worse in TFA classrooms, and students in the upper half of the distribution perform better.     

Teach for Australia (TFA): can it overcome educational disadvantage?

This paper considers an alternative teacher certification pathway known as Teach for Australia (TFA) that is currently operating in the Australian state of Victoria. A discursive approach informed by critical theory is used in the paper to critically examine the specific case of TFA as an alternative teacher certification pathway charged with improving student learning outcomes and reducing educational disadvantage. The problematization of educational programmes such as TFA, including specific terms and statements found in TFA documentation, features prominently in the paper alongside the political and economic policy context of public education. The argument and central contention of the paper is that TFA will not overcome educational disadvantage; nor will it over time improve student learning outcomes.

“No Excuses” in New Orleans: The Silent Passivity of Neoliberal Schooling

Abstract

Drawing on ethnographic data, this article critically analyzes pedagogy in “no excuses” charter schools in New Orleans. Employing Ladson-Billings's framework for culturally relevant pedagogy, the author describes the level of academic rigor, cultural competence, and critical consciousness development across classrooms. This study provides empirical evidence that within a market-based system, the purpose of schooling shifts toward the production of assessment data at the expense of culturally relevant practices.     

论教学相长范畴的变迁及其当代价值

教学相长作为《学记》中的教育范畴,对学与教之间相互关系的阐释最为经典,是“为己之学”在教育经典文本中的生动再现。以郑玄—孔颖达为代表的注疏之学和以荆公新学—陈澔为代表的义理之学,体现了以学为核心的教育话语体系下,教学相长范畴研究的儒学话语变迁。以《学记笺证》《学记研究》《〈礼记〉新读》为代表的学术专著,呈现了以教为核心的话语体系下,教学相长范畴研究的学科术语变迁。教育学类教材和论文主要从教学原则和教师成长规律两个方面来展开教学相长范畴研究。教学相长范畴中“为己之学”的为学旨趣、“弟子不必不如师”的师道观念和“好学”的师德修养,正是教学过程中形成良好师生关系的内在保障。教学相长范畴的当代价值就在于此。

Direct and indirect effects of Key2Teach on teachers' sense of self-efficacy and emotional exhaustion,a randomized controlled trial

The effects of Key2Teach on teachers' sense of self-efficacy and emotional exhaustion related to students with externalizing problem behaviour were investigated using an RCT-design. 103 teachers were randomly assigned to an intervention or control condition and followed during a school-year. Data were collected at three time-points. Self-efficacy for instructional strategies improved at post-test and emotional exhaustion decreased at follow-up as a result of Key2Teach. Self-efficacy did not mediate the effect on emotional exhaustion. The effect of Key2Teach on self-efficacy concerning student engagement and classroom management was mediated by an increase in closeness. Implications for research and practice are discussed.     

从终身体育思想论大学体育武术套路教学改革

运用文献资料、逻辑分析、专家访谈等方法,从终身体育思想的角度,分析当下大学体育武术套路教学中存在的问题,在此基础上研究普通高校武术套路教学改革。研究结论认为：（1）教学内容改革为：淡化难度、注重学练法,突出欣赏能力培养、强调武术文化传承．（2）武术套路技术评价分为3种形式,即根据不同层次的班级有选择地进行单式技术、组合技术、整套技术的评价。单式技术评价侧重于动作练习的质量和技击含义的表达;组合技术评价侧重于对动作的审美;整套技术评价侧重于动作的记忆和艺术表现,突出学生个性培养。
