Teacher-to-Classroom Assignment and Student Achievement

We study the effects of counterfactual teacher-to-classroom assignments on average student achievement in U.S. elementary and middle schools. We use the Measures of Effective Teaching (MET) experiment to semiparametrically identify the average reallocation effects (AREs) of such assignments. Our identification strategy exploits the random assignment of teachers to classrooms in MET schools. To account for noncompliance of some students and teachers to the random assignment, we develop and implement a semiparametric instrumental variables estimator. We find that changes in within-district teacher assignments could have appreciable effects on student achievement. Unlike policies that aim at changing the pool of teachers (e.g., teacher tenure policies or class-size reduction measures), alternative teacher-to-classroom assignments do not require that districts hire new teachers or lay off existing ones; they raise student achievement through a more efficient deployment of existing teachers.

Music Teachers in U.S. Charter Schools: A Multistate Profile

This descriptive survey study aimed to investigate the professional experiences of music educators teaching at charter schools in the United States. In the spring of 2020, a total of 113 charter school music teachers across six states responded to an online questionnaire soliciting information regarding their licensure status, background and training, details of their teaching assignment, and reasons for accepting a teaching position in the charter school setting. At the time of data collection, approximately two thirds of participants held an active music teaching license. Others either held licensure in other content areas or held no active teaching license at all. Among study participants, approximately one third left positions at traditional public schools to teach music in the charter school system, citing the appeal of curricular autonomy and job flexibility. The discussion includes considerations for music teacher preparation programs.

EMPLOYMENT PROBLEMS OF TEACHERS WAITING FOR APPOINTMENT

The purpose of this research is to determine the employment problems of pre-service teachers who cannot be appointed. In the research, a descriptive study was conducted by using the case study model, which is one of the qualitative research methods. The research data were obtained through interviews with 10 teachers who were within the borders of Tokat province but were not appointed. Semi-structured interview forms were used to collect data. The answers given by the participants to the interview form were analyzed one by one and turned into a table in the computer environment. The data obtained as a result of the interviews with the participants were analyzed with descriptive data analysis, which is one of the qualitative data analysis techniques. As a result of the research, pre-service teachers stated that they wanted to be appointed both as teachers and from their own branches, and they did not want to work in precarious and night-time working areas. Most of the teachers who are paid teachers mentioned that they are exposed to permanent-paid discrimination and that they are affected psychologically in the working environment. The majority of the teachers who participated in the interview stated that they did not experience any economic anxiety while they were students and that they saw the full support of their families. It has been observed that there are differences in the hopes of being appointed from the prospective teachers, primary school teachers and teachers who graduated from different branches. In addition, it was observed that the unemployment problem negatively affected their emotions, thoughts and psychology in all of the participants. Keywords: Teacher employment, Teacher appointment, Unappointed teacher problem, Teacher training, Education planning.

Excessive State Intervention in Regulating Minority Educational Institutions

Abstract This article explores the extent of state regulation in aided minority educational institutions. It analyses the decision in the Sk. Md. Rafiq, which goes contrary to the settled law of limited state interference. In matters of selection and appointment of teachers, the state can prescribe only certain criteria to achieve ‘educational excellence’ in the ‘national interest’. However, the impugned statutory provisions have virtually eroded the autonomy that the management board of the institution hitherto enjoyed. The ripples of this decision are far-reaching, given this unprecedented judicial affirmation of virtually unbridled state intervention. State control is necessary to ensure that such institutions maintain basic standards in imparting education. It cannot pave the way for a situation where the board is bound by state recommendations. A moderate state role in such institutions is essential for the preservation of the minority character of institutions under Article 30(1) of the Indian Constitution.

Teacher Effectiveness and Classroom Composition: Understanding Match Effects in the Classroom

Abstract This paper provides evidence of match effects in the teacher labour market by considering how teacher effectiveness varies by classroom composition. We combine random assignment of teachers with rich measures of teaching practices based on a popular teacher-evaluation protocol to overcome endogeneity challenges. We find significant complementarities between teaching practice and classroom composition for maths achievement. We use these estimates to simulate the effects of reallocating classrooms among teachers within schools and find substantial differences between counterfactual and actual teacher effectiveness rankings. These findings support the importance of classroom composition for key teacher-related policies, including teacher allocations, accountability and training.

Professional networks, collegial support, and school leaders: How physical education teachers manage reality shock, marginalization, and isolation in a decentralized school system

There are many factors and duties that novice teachers do not know about when they enter the profession. Isolation, for instance, affects physical education (PE) teachers because the position often comes with a secluded workplace adjacent to the gym and through the subject's marginalization. These challenges, among others, can send the novice teacher into shock, and there is a risk the teacher becomes disengaged from the profession. This study aimed to provide insights into PE teachers’ experiences of reality shock, isolation, and marginalization over time, as well as how they managed these challenges. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine Swedish PE teachers six to 10 years after graduation from PE teacher education (PETE). Qualitative content analysis was used. All participants retrospectively described a reality shock when they were novices, where non-subject-specific teacher assignments were experienced as more challenging compared to teaching PE. Further, isolation had a severe effect. However, the marginalization of PE was not that apparent as when they were novices. Over time, the participants created their own networks to mitigate, for example, isolation. In turn, marginalization seemed to be a remaining challenge to the participants despite an increased societal focus on health. Even though it is impossible for PETE to prepare teachers for every challenge they could face in the profession, PETE should inform preservice teachers of common phenomena such as isolation and marginalization, as well as how to create supporting networks. Further, we argue that perceived autonomy combined with systematic guidance could positively affect novice teachers’ development.

Virtual peer teaching in the gross anatomy lab: a format of peer teaching and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic

Background: Peer teaching is a powerful educational tool utilized in medical school curricula. Previously, first year medical students taught their peers about the gross anatomical structures they had dissected in the anatomy lab. While this strategy provided an opportunity for students to learn from one another, there were unintended outcomes including difficulty engaging all students. Considering these observations, along with needing to limit student numbers in the lab due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a strategy was developed where students could conduct their anatomy peer teaching in a virtual environment. The goal was to establish an effective and efficient means for students to teach and learn from one another virtually. Methods: Students, working in groups of four, were tasked to: 1) Find and label 4-5 assigned structures on cadaver-based images; 2) Provide a rationale for labeling; 3) Discuss something relevant about the structure; 4) Prepare a 5-minute video presentation of steps 1-3; and 5) Review and provide meaningful feedback on another group’s presentation. Student performance on virtual peer teaching assignments was evaluated using a structured rubric and grades were weighted based on two separate faculty assessments. Student feedback was obtained via discussions with the course director, a semi-structured 1-hour virtual focus interview and from course evaluation data. Results: While students performed well on these assignments, feedback from students indicated several drawbacks such as excess time editing their videos, concerns about the validity of information provided by their peers, and the timing of peer teaching to be non-conducive to learning. Conclusions: Although the students viewed the virtual peer teaching negatively, we were successful in developing a platform in which students participated more equally in peer teaching. Recommendations to those considering this platform include careful consideration of timing of peer teaching activities and faculty feedback as well as technology used.

This study analyzed the level and impact of private education expenditure of teachers appointment exam applicants using five waves of Graduates Occupational Mobility Survey. Considering heterogeneous characteristics of primary and secondary teacher resources and different pass rates of appointment exams, we divided samples of primary and secondary teacher applicants. The findings are as follows. First, primary teacher applicants spent about 310 thousand won for private education on average. Private education expenditure for Hagwon was 470 thousand won while that for lectures on campus cost 220 thousand won. Second, secondary teacher applicants spent about 420 thousand won for private education on average. The higher household income level was, the higher private education expenditure was. Private education expenditure for Hagwon cost statistically significantly higher than other exam preparation methods. The lower rank university graduates and private university graduates spent more on private education for exam preparation. Third, private education expenditure was not a significant determinant of probability of passing both primary and secondary teacher appointment exams. Particularly for secondary teacher appointment exams, graduates with higher college GPA, higher satisfaction of college education, and from higher rank university and public university were more likely to pass the exam. In conclusion, this study found private education expenditure, which is associated with the level of household income, was not a significant determinant and the teacher appointment exams in Korea worked on the basis of meritocracy.

The role of querying: Investigating subject-oriented meaning-making

This study investigates how students in a 10th-grade class used querying in subject-oriented meaning-making. We combine thematic analysis of a video-recorded learning trajectory comprising eight lessons in social science, with interaction analyses of selected episodes. We investigate how querying may prove productive and we aim to identify teaching strategies that are conducive to such querying. The findings suggest that querying can lead to cognitively demanding coordination and enhance an evaluative epistemic stance. We found the use of a microblogging tool to be productive in facilitating querying by displaying contrasting ideas and mediating uptake in whole-class conversations. Strategies to obtain productive querying are related to the teacher's assignments and uptake of students' contributions, as well as the teacher allowing students space to explore. • The study demonstrates how querying supports students' subject-oriented meaning-making. • Querying can enhance evaluative epistemic stances and mediate coordination. • Through querying, students can learn to understand each other's positions. • Teacher organization by assignment and uptake was crucial for productive querying. • Digital microblogs can be used as tools to facilitate productive querying.
