Some subscribers to MathEdCC might be interested in "Re: Evaluations
Ignore Education Factors" [Hake (2011)]. The abstract reads:
*********************************************
ABSTRACT: James Horn, in his ARN-L post "guest column on TN teacher
eval system," pointed to his Knoxville News Sentinel "Guest Column:
Evaluations ignore education factors" at <http://bit.ly/swBD8v>.
Therein Horn wrote (paraphrasing): "Almost no one, especially
researchers, would agree with Mike Edwards' "Guest Column: Grading
teachers vital to education" <http://bit.ly/stuQKU> contention that
teachers are the most important factor in a child's education. What
the research. . . . .[[My insert: as is typical in newspaper
articles, no references are given!]]. . . consistently shows,
rather, is that teachers are the most important *school-level* factor
in student learning, and that other *non-school factors* including
family income, parental influence, health, poverty and safety combine
to shape a child's school achievement in ways that even the greatest
teachers cannot account for."
In this post I list over 30 Definitive Academic References supporting
Horn's contention that NON-SCHOOL FACTORS ARE IMPORTANT IN SHAPING
CHILDREN'S SCHOOL ACHIEVEMENT. Readers may wish to suggest additions
to this list.
