How to Get the Teachers We Want
Hess, Frederick
Education NExt, Summer 2009, v9, #3, online edition
"To improve schooling, the U.S. has adopted the peculiar policy of hiring ever more teachers and asking them each to do the same job in roughly the same way. This dilutes the talent pool while spreading training and salaries over ever more bodies. [...] A teaching profession for the future would make better use of teachers’ talents and skills by adopting a staffing model similar to those in law and health care."
Frederick M. Hess is director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute and an executive editor of Education Next.
