How High-Performing Systems Shape Teaching Quality Around the World

Discover how high-performing systems shape teaching quality around the world Producing highly skilled and committed teachers is not the work of a single innovative school or the aggregation of heroic individuals who succeed against the odds. In high-performing countries, the opportunities for teachers to learn sophisticated practices and continue to improve are embedded systemically in education policies and practices. Empowered Educators describes how this seemingly magical work is done—how a number of forward-thinking educational systems create a coherent set of policies designed to ensure quality teaching in all communities. . . and how the results are manifested in practice. Spanning three continents and five countries, Empowered Educators examines seven jurisdictions that have worked to develop comprehensive teaching policy systems: Singapore and Finland, the states of New South Wales and Victoria in Australia, the provinces of Alberta and Ontario in Canada, and the province of Shanghai in China. Renowned education expert Linda Darling-Hammond and a team of esteemed scholars offer lessons learned in a number of areas that shape the teaching force and the work of teachers, shedding unprecedented light on areas such as teacher recruitment, preparation, induction and mentoring, professional learning, career and leadership development, and more. Find out how quality teaching is developed and conducted across the globe Discover a common set of strategies for developing, supporting, and sustaining the ongoing learning and development of teachers and school leaders See how high-performing countries successfully recruit and train educators Understand why the sharing of expertise among teachers and administrators within and across schools is beneficial A fascinating read for researchers, policymakers, administrators, teacher educators, pre-service teachers and leaders, and anyone with an interest in education, this book offers a rare glimpse into the systems that are shaping quality teaching around the world.

Empowered Educators in Singapore

How High-Performing Systems Shape Teaching Quality

By: A. Lin Goodwin,Ee-Ling Low,Linda Darling-Hammond

BEST PRACTICES FROM SINGAPORE'S HIGH-PERFORMING SCHOOL SYSTEM Empowered Educators in Singapore is one volume in a series that explores how high-performing educational systems from around the world achieve strong results. The anchor book, Empowered Educators: How High-Performing Systems Shape Teaching Quality Around the World, is written by Linda Darling-Hammond and colleagues, with contributions from the authors of this volume. Empowered Educators in Singapore delves into the country's rapid rise to educational excellence on a global scale and the national effort that drives it. Singaporean students routinely outperform their peers from around the world, placing first or second in international assessments, particularly in math and science. In 2015, Singaporean students topped the league table for both the Programme in International Student Achievement (PISA) and the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). With educators around the world clamoring for the "Singapore secret," the reality is that Singapore's excellence is the result of a 25-year drive to improve education through systemic, long-term and ongoing, consistent, and deliberative reform with an emphasis on teacher quality. This book describes the interwoven strategies that merge context, quality, governance, and continual evolution into a consistently high-achieving student population.

Suitable Singles

Every Single Decision Matters

By: A. Lin. Thomas

Suitable Singles: Every Single Decision Matters By: A. Lin. Thomas Suitable Singles: Every Single Decision Matters is a book about discovering how to become a suitable single preparing for Holy Matrimony. It illustrates how we can begin the healing process from brokenness through self-discovery in order to understand how to become the suitable single we should be. It also illustrates how brokenness can initiate broken partnering, which will promote a broken family life. The author uses her own personal testimony to illustrate what a broken person looks like and how that dynamic is the worst state to be in when seeking to mate. She speaks about her own disparaging upbringing and failed marriage to make the point that desperation is not a good state to be in when choosing a mate and creating a family. With so many families in turmoil in today’s society, the author shares the story of how she was led by God to share the hurt and pain of her family life and her failed marriage to highlight how a broken family creates a broken child, which becomes a broken adult, who chooses a broken mate, which creates a broken couple who begins the cycle of a broken family all over again. Then the author testifies about how God healed her and delivered her from that broken cycle. It is the author’s hope that readers will take away an honest perspective about the seriousness and the truth of mating, especially in the Church, and gain proper understanding of God’s perspective on what a suitable mate is and how the Word of God is the only true guide to creating a family life that is blessed and prosperous; not just for the couple but for society as a whole.

Promoting Social Justice for Young Children

By: Beatrice S. Fennimore,A. Lin Goodwin

This book explores important current social justice issues that confront young children in America. A broad range of topics related to the fair treatment of young children and their families are approached with a fresh and hopeful energy. The central argument of this volume is that a fair and just society must protect the basic needs of all children so they are able to reach their full potential to learn, grow, and ultimately become productive democratic citizens. The book includes contributions from an impressive group of authors who have been consistent voices for the fair and equitable treatment of children in school and society. Each chapter examines a critical issue in child social justice with a focus on the current problem, historical importance of the issue, potential solutions, and a vision for the future. The book has been developed to reach a wide audience of professionals whose work involves children and who have grown concerned about social forces that cause child suffering and threaten the well-being or even the survival of children in the United States. Readers will come away with up to date information and a renewed commitment to being life-long advocates for children.
