When it comes to getting the best teachers possible into the system, what are your priorities? Rank the approaches below from 1-5, with 1 being your highest priority.
Only the selfless or the slackers will stay in a system where teachers are constantly maligned - the former because they're called to the job (and you can't build a system around that) and the latter because they're so thick-skinned they don't care what others think about their performance; they're just in it for the paycheck (and you can't have people who are like that working with vulnerable children). Rather than look at students' test results, why aren't we looking at teachers' test results. Far too many in the system, including the current chancellor, were not very good students themselves.
