The transparent teacher : taking charge of your instruction with peer-collected classroom data / Trent E. Kaufman, Emily Dolci Grimm ; foreword by Sarah Brown Wessling, National Teacher of the Year - xii, 162 pages ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index
Why do so many education fads come and go without making a lasting impact on student learning? In The Transparent Teacher, Trent E. Kaufman and Emily Dolci Grimm describe how the culture of isolation that teachers face in schools stymies improvement. Teachers need more open collaboration, the authors argue, to meaningfully practice and refine their instruction. This practical, comprehensive book outlines the authors' unique model of Teacher-Driven Observation (TDO), which helps teachers take charge of their own growth, effectiveness, and overall job satisfaction using classroom data collected by peers. Written for teachers and administrators alike, the book includes examples, tips, and a case study of a school that leveraged TDO to produce impressive improvement in instruction and growth in student outcomes.
