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
thesegroups do certainly have their own interests and perspectives,
they also all desire to see that students are betterprepared for a
competitive world. What if all these groups worked together for
that very goal? What wouldhappen if all reform work in PK-12
education centered on the improvement of teaching? Would teachers
betreated differently? Would they respond to their work in more
innovative ways? Would it change the quality ofeducation that
children in the United States receive?Six Degrees of School
Improvement: Empowering a New Profession of Teaching provides
glimpses of thisrealistic approach to American education reform
with an eye toward what the system might look like in one totwo
generations from now. The book makes a solid case for
"collaborative professionalism," a system thatbinds professionals
together under a common set of understandings about the ways in
which children and adolescents learn content knowledge andacquire
skills. It argues that popular approaches to school improvement
circumvent teachers and thus further de-skill and disempower the
very peopleresponsible for student learning in classrooms. Most
importantly, the book provides very clear guidance on building a
system of collaborative professionalismamong teachers.
