Document Outlines 7 Elements Needed to Transform Teaching
Secretary of Education Arne Duncan says, “The principles outlined in the document represent ways to strengthen and elevate teaching as one of our nation’s most valued and respected professions.”
The document apparently focuses on three main goals: 1) ensuring all students are challenged to meet a high bar that prepares them for college, career, and citizenship; 2) narrowing the opportunity and access gap between more and less privileged populations of students; and, 3) preparing all students to be globally competitive
Here are the seven core principles that make up the elements of achieving these goals. They include
- A culture of shared responsibility and leadership;
- Recruiting top talent into schools prepared for success;
- Continuous growth and professional development;
- Effective teachers and principals;
- A professional career continuum with competitive compensation;
- Conditions that support successful teaching and learning; and
- Engaged communities
