Clay Burell's personal annotations on this page
-
• The US has made progress in this area. In the early 1990s, about half of new teachers participated in support programs.
A decade later, that had grown to two-thirds, and 7 out of 10 had a mentor. -
Teaching versus planning time
•In most European and Asian countries, about half of a teacher's workweek, 15 to 20 hours, is spent outside the classroom
– preparing lessons, meeting with students and parents, and working with colleagues. In South Korea, teachers spend up to
65 percent of their working time outside the classroom. In Japan, teachers study one another's best lessons in groups and
analyze the strengths and weaknesses.
•American teachers are typically given three to five hours a week for planning.
