SECTION I: READING COMPREHENSION )15 pts)
READ THE TEXT AND DO THE RELATED TASKS.

[1] There seems to be consensus that teacher quality is the most important variable in determining
how well a child learns. While such an observation hardly sounds like headline news, it is a milestone in
the development of teaching as a profession. It suggests where investments should be made if people
really are serious about student learning. It also explains why policymakers and the public should care
about what it means to be an effective teacher and what it will take to create and empower a teaching
workforce defined by accomplished practice. Teachers, administrators, and others whose work is to
support best practice in our schools must rethink every aspect of the trajectory people follow to become
accomplished teachers. Getting that path right and making sure all teachers follow it asserts the body of
knowledge and skills teachers need and leads to a level of consistent quality that is the hallmark of all true
professions.

[2] Before addressing the trajectory and the need to build à coherent continuum of experiences that all
teachers should follow as they become accomplished, we must ask a basic question: Is teaching a true
profession? If it is, it should be held to the same standards as other professions when it comes to the
quality of its practitioners; if not, then such expectations are nice but not necessary. Dan C. Lortie (1975)
explains that teaching, which has the potential to be a profession, lacks many of the characteristics of one.
For example, there is no period of mediated entry into practice that all new teachers follow. Perhaps more
important, there is no base of knowledge and skills that all teachers must acquire and none of the internal
structures common to other professions, such as a standards-based assessment created by practitioners of
the profession to certify when people have acquired the knowledge and skills. Because of the increased
interest in education since Lortie’s book was published, one might assume that the education community
has made some fundamental changes. However, little has changed that would move teaching toward
becoming more of a profession.

[3] Furthermore, policy makers seem to have made their voice even more dominant in key areas that
are traditionally left to the province of professions, deploying an agenda that in many ways treats teachers
less like professionals and more like traditional blue-collar workers. Evidence for such a shift can be
seen in the proliferation of alternate routes into teaching, the increase in accountability systems that focus
on the most narrow measures of effectiveness, and the move to empower non-educators to make decisions
that should be made only by those whose skills, knowledge, and experience provide the judgment such
decisions require. Medical practitioners, for instance, would not tolerate such an intrusion into their
domain. Perhaps there is no more telling sign that education has not yet become a profession than how
silent its practitioners have been in the face of these policies.

[4] What are the characteristics of a “profession”? As Lee Shulman (2004), Lortie and others have
pointed out, a distinguishing operating principle of a profession is that those who are in it define the key
terms. Those terms include initial formal preparation, induction plan, the trajectory of development,
standards for success, code of behaviour and professional development schemes. That teaching does not
meet these conditions does not mean that it does not deserve to be a profession; only that its practitioners
have not coalesced around making that happen. Teaching is a complex undertaking. It almost certainly
has an identifiable body of knowledge that is connected to content, the teaching/learning process, and the
characteristics of children. There are also skills that must be acquired to help students develop in ways
that prepare them for further study and life. Many teachers have this knowledge and these skills, but their
numbers do not define the teaching workforce, which leads to inconsistent quality teaching. The lack of
consistency in the quality of teaching is most apparent in schools serving large numbers of poor children,
where the job of teaching is more difficult and requires greater knowledge and skills for success than it
does in schools serving more affluent children.

[S] Can teachers and those who are devoted to education and whose work supports what happens at
the confluence of teacher and student create the conditions that lead to accomplished practice? Can such
practice become the norm rather than the exception? The answer to both questions is yes. Furthermore,
these conditions must be created and they must become the norm. The need for good teaching in all
classrooms and for all children regardless of their age and mental capacity is equal to, if not more
compelling than, what is required for other professions. The negative long-term consequence when poor
or mediocre instruction of children is the norm is clear: no society can prosper if it fails to develop its
most important asset. Just as nations cannot become great or even good without healthy populations and
dependable infrastructure, they cannot do so without an educated citizenry. Some people think it is not
possible for teaching to reach such a level. Furthermore, teachers do work that most people believe
anyone can do. That belief stems in large part from the fact that today almost all adults have spent too
many hours as students watching teachers. No other occupation is observed so extensively, and this
familiarity undoubtedly adds to the belief that teaching just is not that hard. Still others do not want
teaching to be a profession or, put more generously, do not believe it needs to be. They pursue strategies
designed to “teacher-proof” schools, and they imagine classrooms led primarily by young people who
“do” teaching for two to three years on their way to a real job. Such a scheme ensures that salaries stay
low and retirement costs mostly disappear. This attitude toward teachers should be unmasked for what it
is: an effort to ensure that poor children never get the education they need.
