Yeah, a burnt out teacher with 30 years of experience and a high school degree vs. a young creative teacher with 3 years of experience, a Master's in Education and excited to be there.

Which one do you choose?

Why does it have to be an either/or decision? I've known both first year and highly experienced teachers who were amazing and also known both first year/experienced teachers who burned out and quit.

By the way I don't think you can get hired as a teacher without a college diploma.

Now, but 20 years ago?

Academic credentials? If all of my children's teachers are educated by a giant, average state school, love and are good at teaching, excel at classroom management, and provide a safe and nurturing environment, I will take them over a 4 year ivy educated recent grad every single time.

They come from a variety of backgrounds with varying years of experience. We are a founding family at IT and have been thoroughly impressed with the caliber of teachers (of all types, including paraprofessionals/assistants) of the classrooms of our children.

This is particularly true with respect to evaluations. Older teachers are highly resistant to results-based evaluations, data-driven metrics, and general standards. Good young teachers expect that and take to it as part of the improvement process.

This is true and maybe why they can't control the disruption of some classrooms.

We are in a class with a resident teacher from last year is leading the class. You would never know they're in 2nd year of teaching. I think it's a great testament to the Center For Inspired Teaching as well as the school.

My DD teacher, Pk3 was under the IT program last year and is doing very well in DCPS.
