how do you make a teacher a great
0:03
seems like the kind of question that
0:05
people to spend a lot of time on it we'd understand very well
0:14
let's start with why this is important
0:19
fallback have some great teachers
0:22
a wonderful education
0:24
that's part of the reason we're here today part of the res were successful
0:28
uh... i can say that even old alma college dropout
0:32
if i had rate teachers
0:35
and in fact in the united states
0:37
the teaching system is worth fairly well there are
0:40
fairly effective teachers
0:44
seta places of the top twenty percent of students
0:47
have gotten a good education
0:48
and those top twenty percent
0:51
had been the best in the world if you measure them against the other top
0:56
to treat the revolutions and software and biotechnology and keep the u_s_ at
1:04
the strength for those top twenty percent
1:07
is starting to fade on a relative basis
1:10
but even more concerning
1:12
is the education that the balance of people are getting
1:16
are not only is that the end week it's getting weaker
1:20
and if you look at the economy
1:22
it really is only providing opportunities now
1:25
to people with better education
1:28
as we have to change this we have to change it
1:31
so that people have equal opportunity
1:33
we have to change it so that the country strong and him and stays in the
1:37
forefront of things further are driven by advanced education like
1:42
science in mathematics
1:44
when i first learn the statistics i was pretty stunned at how bad things are
1:49
over thirty percent of kids
1:51
never finished high school
1:53
and that had been covered up for a long time because they always took the
1:57
dropout rate as the number who started and senior year
2:01
compared to the number of the finishing your because they were tracking
2:04
where the kids were before that but most of the drop out since he can
2:08
place before that so they had to raise
2:10
the state a dropout rate as soon as that track was done to over thirty percent
2:16
it's over fifty percent
2:19
and even if you graduate
2:25
if your local income you have less than twenty five percent chance of ever
2:29
completely in a college degree
2:31
if you're low income in the united states you have a higher chance of going
2:37
than you do it getting a four year degree
2:41
and that you know it doesn't seem to entirely fair
2:46
how do you make education batter
2:48
our foundation for the last nine years is invested in this as many people
2:53
we've worked on small schools
2:55
we funded scholarships we've done things in libraries
2:59
uh... a lot of these things have a good a fact
3:01
but the more we looked at it the more we realized
3:05
having great teachers was the very key thing
3:09
until he looked up with some people studying
3:11
how much variation is there between teachers
3:14
between say the top quartile
3:16
the very best in the bottom quartile
3:19
how much variation is there within a school or between schools
3:22
and the answer is that these variations
3:24
are absolutely unbelievable
3:28
popped portrayal teacher
3:30
will increase the performance of their class
3:34
based on test scores by over ten percent in a single year
3:38
what does that mean what that means that the entire u_s_ for two years had top
3:45
the entire difference
3:46
between us and each other would go away
3:49
and within four years we would be blowing everyone in the world the way
3:55
so it's time for all you need is those top quartile teachers
4:01
mild that's good we should reward those people we should retain those people
4:05
we should find out what they're doing
4:07
and transfer that's guilt other people
4:10
but i can tell you that absolutely
4:13
is not happening today
4:16
what are the characteristics of this pop art file but what are they they look
4:21
well these must be very senior teachers
4:24
and the answer is no
4:26
one somebody is top for three years
4:30
teaching quality does not change thereafter
4:33
the variation is very
4:37
you might think well these are
4:39
people it masters degrees
4:41
they've gone back and they've got their masters of education
4:44
this chart takes four different factors and says how much do they explain
4:50
that bottom thing which says there's no affect at all is a master's degree
4:56
the way the pieces the works
4:59
is there's two things the rewarded one in seniority
5:02
packager people stopping investing your pension and the second is
5:06
giving extra money to people get their master's degree
5:09
but it can always associated
5:11
would be a better teacher
5:13
teachforamerica slight the fact
5:16
for math teachers majoring in math is a he
5:23
if your past performance there are some people who are very good at this
5:28
family done almost nothing
5:30
to studying what that is and abroad and too
5:35
replicated to raise the average capability or to encourage the people
5:39
to stay in the system you might say will do the dance teacher stay in the bad
5:44
the answer is on average
5:46
fell slightly better teachers we'd the system and it's a system with
5:53
there are a few places very few
5:56
rate teachers are being made
