Not everything in life, not everything in schools, has to be measured. How do you measure a teacher's full effect on students? How can you scientifically measure all the nuances integral to learning, loving, healing?<br /> There is some science in the art of teaching. And some of that can be measured. But not all of it can or should be measured in scientific terms.<br />Thank you again for helping us all articulate what is so wrong with this goals movement.Liberty Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12027499609835665307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-64236509957413350392009-11-23T08:26:43.520-05:002009-11-23T08:26:43.520-05:00I love how you take the uncomfortables in my head ...I love how you take the uncomfortables in my head and turn them into words so I see WHY I've been uncomfortable. You can't measure effectiveness as a teacher because it isn't measurable. My biggest success last week was teaching a student that someone believed in him. How do you measure that?<br /><br />So administrators and others confuse tests as something that measures the effectiveness and all that measures is how well some students take tests. At the low end, I don't think it measures what they know or have learned.<br /><br />Good job, PO, and thanks again!!Ricochethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594506449363717006noreply@blogger.com
