‘Value Added’ Concept Proves Beneficial to Teacher Colleges

The basic idea behind value-added is to examine growth in student test scores, holding constant factors like poverty or family characteristics that could skew scores, and then to determine what impact teachers had on that improvement. For teacher education, the process goes a step further, by analyzing how graduates of particular programs have done in the aggregate to raise their students’ scores.

[TORONTO, CANADA] It’s older, more experienced teachers – not younger, so-called digital natives – who are experimenting more with new technology in the classroom, a new report suggests.

[…] Fresh out of college, few new teachers experiment with new technologies because they have the potential to be disruptive. It’s experience, and the confidence that comes with it, that is allowing teachers in their 40s and 50s to lead the way, according to the report.

What is LOVE?

Love is patient, love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always…
