NPR: Education Podcast
This podcast brought me mixed emotions. When the mayor of L.A. was talking about removing the ability to obtain tenure from the teachers, he started to rile my emotions. Some of his statements made believe he thinks poor scores and issues in the school district are solely the teachers’ fault. This did not sit well with me. Although, I agreed with his statement about teachers, parents, and communities needing to come together to be innovative and remove the impediments of education. When parents and the community become involved in education I believe it makes the school district much better. Blank was another person interviewed. She was a former educator and had great ideas on how to improve the way teachers receive tenure while still protecting the teacher and improving on student issues. Her point addressing the issue of reviewing teachers was very correct. She stated that teachers should be peer reviewed instead of a principal stopping by a classroom every once in a while. I think this would be a great way to be reviewed because current teachers would know what works the best and could give many helpful hints on how to improve the way you teach. I highly recommend checking out this podcast
