  2. Section 1 Start with students. 2012 Southern Regional Education Board Meeting
  3. From the first day, we chart our children’s growth.
  4. <picture: first day of kindergarten> We can’t stop on the first day of school.
  5. Honey, how was school? I better call the teacher. Fine.
  6. Is my child being challenged to their potential? What will my child learn in this class? ? How will you know if my child has mastered the material? Is my child keeping up with other children? What can I do to help?
  7. Each year our students enroll in close to 2,000 classes. We can measure what they’ve learned in 10% of them.
  8. We measure what we care about.
  9. We must develop multiple ways to assess what our students learn.
  10. We can track every child’s development. Advanced Math Critical Thinking Reading The Arts Problem-Solving Beginning K 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Every grade. Every subject.

  15. But teachers differ in impact on students. 2012 Southern Regional Education Board Meeting
  16. This difference matters for students later in life. For one year, difference for a student between having a 50th and 84th percentile teacher. Difference in lifetime earnings is equivalent to giving each student $4,600. Raises probability of attending college at age 20 by 0.5 percentage points. Decreases probability of teenage pregnancy. http://obs.rc.fas.harvard.edu/chetty/value_added.html 2012 Southern Regional Education Board Meeting
