Case: Competitive Principal
At Mary's school, her principal constantly focuses on teacher competition. When teachers give benchmark tests, the principal creates a giant chart for display in the teacher work room. This chart, although names are removed, includes how teachers did in the different subgroups (gifted, white, black, low socio-economic status, students with disabilities, etc.) Do you think it is smart for this principal to encourage teachers competing against one another? Is this encouraging teachers to do better or encouraging them to be more independent and against sharing ideas and resources?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Instead of encouraging competition, I would suggest that the principal encourage collaborative sessions. At the high school level, each grade level in my English department is a team. Following common assessments, we (as a team, not as a display for the entire school) discuss strengths and weaknesses we see in our student test results. If one teacher's students performed really well in an area that other teachers' student failed to achieve in, then that teacher shares strategies for other group members to try. If the principal encouraged collaboration, the results would likely be better because teachers are sharing ideas and encouraging each other's success rather than trying to beat one another's scores. |
