What makes a good teacher?
What will be an ideal response?
It is difficult to agree upon, define, and measure exactly what constitutes good teaching. One group of
economists (Chetty, Friedman,& Rockoff, 2012) followed elementary and high school students over a period of
20 years. They defined good teaching as those teachers who raised children's scores on achievement tests.
Results of their study indicated that good teachers not only raised achievement score tests, but they added
value in other ways to their student's lives, such as long-lasting academic and financial gains. There was a
strong positive correlation between ‘value-added teaching" and financial gain at age 28 . Students who had
"value-added" teachers not only did better on achievement tests but made more money during their lifetimes.
