[quote=Anonymous][quote]Sure, but the field has really struggled with figuring out how someone is “good enough.” How do you identify the strong teachers? Is it test scores? How do you address the many variables that affect those? Is it parent reviews? Student feedback? Admin observations? It’s remarkably difficult to quantify “strong teachers.” A lot of teaching is an art. That’s why merely having a certain degree isn’t enough. Can you effectively relay your content knowledge to a child? [/quote] This. If you increase pay only based on student test scores, then no one will go into special education, ESL, or Title I schools. The biggest sign that there is a shortage IMO is not the STEM or special ed openings--it's the fact that so many ES classroom positions are going unfilled compared to previous years. That's ostensibly the easiest position to fill, and those teachers are no longer abundant.[/quote]
