Introduction for Paper

In my experience in the classroom and observing colleagues, I would say that I agree with the researcher's thesis. Take for instance . . .
-
-
This work is the foundation of the now-common approach to assessing teacher quality by the "value-added" of the teacher. The research on the effectiveness of educational resources has been central to many debates about school finance and has been a component of court cases about state funding of schools. In other work he has shown that cognitive skills are very closely related to economic outcomes, not only for individuals but also for nations.

This notecard is with some of my common knowledge.
I would like to bullet my points.
- Point 1
- Point 2
- Point 3

- Effective teachers run more orderly classrooms. Achievement has been higher in classrooms where the climate is neither harsh nor overly lavish with praise (Kemp & Hall, 1992).
- Teachers who adjust the difficulty level of material to student ability have higher rates of achievement in their classes (Kemp & Hall, 1992).
- Effective teachers have more students in their classes on task and engaged in learning throughout the day (Taylor, Pearson, & Walpole, 1999). Classrooms in which engaged learning occurs have higher levels of student cooperation, student success, and task involvement (Kemp & Hall, 1992).
- Effective teachers clearly articulate rules and include children in discussions about rules and procedures (Kemp & Hall, 1992).

great info for the explanation paragraph

- focused on providing the best in professional development and growth opportunitie

These 4 points would be great in the first body para.

in this section provide information about multiple methods for collecting data on teaching effectiveness. The overview includes articles and links with advice for best practices in teaching evaluation and examples of comprehensive systems of evaluation. The section on peer review includes a method for sound classroom observation as well as discussion of reviewing course materials. Finally, the last section on student ratings and midterm student feedback includes summaries of the extensive body of research on this topic, including tips for best practices in the administration and interpretation of ratings. CRLT has numerous books and ar

A teacher's verbal ability is essential in communicating a lesson; the teacher's role is to explain a subject or theory. Possessing all the knowledge in the world is of no use to the teacher who does not have the skills with which to impart this knowledge; neither is it of any use to the student if it cannot be clearly conveyed. Verbal ability is the power to express ideas in words. This includes a teacher's capacity to communicate on an individual level as well as being able to communicate to the collective.

Significance of Teacher Effectiveness research
Teaching is about so much more than "knowing the material". It is "hands on" all the time.
Bring in the example of Mark Needs and the 5th grade puberty talk.

It evaluates the research on teacher effectiveness and the different instruments used to measure it. In addition, it defines the components and indicators that characterize effective teachers, extending this definition beyond teachers' contribution to student achievement gains to include how teachers impact classrooms, schools, and their colleagues as well as how they contribute to other important outcomes for students.

In recent years, there has been growing interest in moving beyond traditional measures of teacher qualifications, such as completion of a preparation program, number of degrees, or years of experience, in order to evaluate teachers’ actual performance as the basis for making decisions about hiring, tenure, licensing, compensation, and selection for leadership roles. A key problem is that current measures for evaluating teachers are not often linked to their capacity to teach. Existing federal, state, and local policies for defining and measuring teacher quality either rely almost exclusively on classroom observations by principals who differentiate little among teachers and offer little useful feedback, or focus on teachers’ course-taking records and on paper-and-pencil tests of basic academic skills and subject matter knowledge that are poor predictors of later effectiveness in the classroom.

It is difficult to pinpoint teacher effectiveness.

This report describes progress currently underway to achieve a system of reliable, valid, and nationally available performance assessments—from a teacher’s point of entry through the development of accomplished teaching. Such a system would create a more useful and more common standard for the profession, just as national assessments do in fields such as nursing, engineering, accounting, medicine, and other skilled professions. A system of performance assessments could also leverage improvements in practice and professional learning opportunities.

His theory is teacher certification has little to do with teacher effectiveness.

There is a great quote in the online article by Eberlein
-
Conclusion
It is evident that certification and degrees have little correlation to teacher effectiveness. Teacher connection in the classroom, and student learning, have to do with teacher connection to students and a certain persona which is difficult to quantify.
