3.0 Teachers

As the prior chapter established, a student’s long-term success in school depends on many things that have nothing to do with the classroom.  But in the human work of helping kids learn, no single factor matters more than the teacher. This section discusses models of change related to improving the effectiveness of teachers and teaching.

As with every section of Ed100, there is a lot to cover here.  The main text aims for brevity, with a lot of the value delivered through links – and, of course, through your comments.
