Vicki Phillips, head of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's education philanthropy and activism group, offers reasons why traditional systems of measuring and rewarding teachers -- including degree- and seniority-based compensation -- are ineffective in finding high-quality instructors (and complicate education reform). The speech is before the National PTA Convention (full video is available at http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/7638167).

  • In any job, EXPERIENCE is valued!

    Look at the classified ads:

    "Must have EXPERIENCE!"

    "EXPERIENCED preferred!"

    "Willing to train the right person!'

    In the WAITING FOR SUPERMAN movie, Geoffrey Canada states, " I actually know how hard it is to be a GOOD teacher.

    It took me 3 years to become a DECENT teacher, BEFORE I really LEARNED my CRAFT.

    And then in about 5 years, I was a MASTER teacher."
