The teaching profession is in the worst shape of the past 50 years. That's according to researchers Melissa Arnold Lyon and Matthew Kraft, who crunched a half century's worth of data on indicators like whether students want to go into teaching, the prestige of teachers, and the job satisfaction of teachers themselves. What emerged were some striking historical patterns and a clear warning about the state of the teaching profession. The financial support of listeners like you keeps this podcast going.

This month's guest, Matthew Kraft, PhD, associate professor of education and economics at Brown University, offers a research-based commentary of the macro-level trends in education that particularly impact large urban settings, including teacher growth and well-being, the role of school climate and context, and instructional coaching. Applying his expertise in various interdisciplinary research designs across urban settings, Dr. Kraft suggests innovative methods to repurpose resources and reform school systems for the benefit of all teachers and learners.

Today, World Bank Education South Asia Practice Manager, Dr. Cristian Aedo, and World Bank Education Analyst, Tracy Wilichowski, are speaking with Dr. Matthew Kraft, Associate Professor of Education at Brown University, and Dr. Murad Raas, Provincial Minister of Punjab for School Education, about supporting teachers through high-quality feedback and lessons from Punjab's model. A few years ago, the government of Punjab, under the guidance and leadership of Dr. Raas, introduced a large package of education reforms. These reforms included the introduction of a new classroom observation tool (based on the World Bank's Teach tool), allowing policymakers to track and assess the quality of teaching in the classroom. Teacher mentors regularly observe practice in the classroom and provide tailored feedback on instructional practice. To improve the classroom practices of teachers, the Punjab government has acknowledged mere observations are not enough. As such, they have also developed a video-based mobile course for school mentors and teachers to upgrade their skills (ITSP). Teacher coaching has emerged as a promising alternative to traditional models of professional development. Often, teacher evaluation reforms have been motivated by the belief that these new systems would promote teacher development through high-quality feedback. Dr. Kraft's recent paper, Can Teacher Evaluation Systems Produce High-Quality Feedback? illustrates the challenges of using evaluation systems as engines for professional growth when administrators lack the time and skill necessary to provide frequent, high-quality feedback. The World Bank has recently launched our new program Coach, which is focused on helping countries improve in-service teacher professional development. Coach includes a series of tools and resources, focused on giving guidance to stakeholders on the best ways to design, develop, implement and evaluate effective in-service teacher professional development programs and policies. These tools and resources are currently out for consultation, and we strongly welcome listeners to share their feedback with us at coach@worldbank.org.
Justin Reich is joined by Matthew Kraft, associate professor of education and economics at Brown University to discuss the efficacy of tutoring, scaling tutoring for equity, and how COVID exposed the inequities of the status quo. “If we are to not think about changing how schooling works, it is in effect a default acceptance of that current world. So what I'm saying is given the empirical evidence, given the just willingness of parents to pay a whole bunch of money for tutoring, I think it's likely that it can be effective. There's no guarantees. It has to be done well. It won't work great at first, and you're going to have to improve. There's a whole bunch of landmines, as there always are. But with a sustained commitment to continuous improvement and problem solving, there's, I think, potential here, as much as there is for any other things that we do in school. So, lets have that be part of the school day so that it's equitably accessible for all kids, particularly those kids who most need it. ” - Matthew KraftIn this episode we’ll talk about:Lack of social emotional learning for young studentsWhat role does tutoring play in supporting students and teachers?The difficulty of scalingThe costs of tutoringIntegrating tutoring into the regular school dayWhat do we continue post-pandemic?Adding time to the school dayStigmas around receiving tutoring Resources and LinksCheck out A Blueprint for Scaling Tutoring Across Public Schools by Matthew KraftCheck out the Boston Globe article: For schoolchildren struggling to read, COVID-19 has been a wrecking ballCheck out Justin Reich’s book, Failure To Disrupt!Join our self-paced online edX course: Becoming a More Equitable Educator: Mindsets and Practices Transcripthttps://teachlabpodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/matthew-kraft/transcript Produced by Aimee Corrigan and Garrett BeazleyRecorded and mixed by Garrett Beazley Follow TeachLab:FacebookTwitterYouTube
