Amidst the contentious debates about teacher effectiveness, most
people believe that unions, education colleges, charter networks,
consulting agencies, textbook publishers, test producers,
professional associations, teachers, and researchers disagree with
one another about the most essential school reforms. Though all
these groups do certainly have their own interests and
perspectives, they also all desire to see that students are better
prepared for a competitive world. What if all these groups worked
together for that very goal? What would happen if all reform work
in PK-12 education centered on the improvement of teaching? Would
teachers be treated differently? Would they respond to their work
in more innovative ways? Would it change the quality of education
that children in the United States receive? Six Degrees of School
Improvement: Empowering a New Profession of Teaching provides
glimpses of this realistic approach to American education reform
with an eye toward what the system might look like in one to two
generations from now. The book makes a solid case for
"collaborative professionalism," a system that binds professionals
together under a common set of understandings about the ways in
which children and adolescents learn content knowledge and acquire
skills. It argues that popular approaches to school improvement
circumvent teachers and thus further de-skill and disempower the
very people responsible for student learning in classrooms. Most
importantly, the book provides very clear guidance on building a
system of collaborative professionalism among teachers.
