11、ale students.Wells College, which since 1868 had educated only women, began accepting men this year in hopes of bolstering its dwindling enrollment.

They could enjoy the camaraderie of
14、their campus sisters and their playful traditions. Besides jumping into the lake, the women dance around the maypole each May and kiss the feet of the statue of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, before exams.Ms. Alexander said,“People told us we wouldnt notice a difference, but from the moment m

How can one measure it reliably?An analysis is issued a sample of data a Texas school district. Experts argue convincingly that teacher effectiveness should be mea
23、sured by students gains on standardized tests: Mr. Smith is presumably a better teacher than Ms. Brown if his students consistently improve their test scores more than hers do.Though this approach is appealing, there are tricky issues. For example, what if Ms. Brown teaches in a school where student
24、s score so high there is little room for improvement?The authors try to correct for this problem, as well as other sorts of measurement issues, to generate a measurement of teacher effectiveness. The paper is primarily concerned with how this measure is related to other observable teacher characteri
25、stics.The first finding is that is a large variation in teacher effectiveness: some teachers consistently have a larger impact on their students achievement than others.Second, easily observable characteristics like having a masters degree or a passing score on the teacher certification exam are not
26、 correlated with teacher effectiveness.Then what does matter? The most important single influence is experience: first-year teachers are much less effective than others. The second year is significantly better, and by the fourth year, most teachers hit their stride.It is not entirely clear whether t
27、his experience effect is learning by doing (the more you teach, the more effective you become) or survival of the fittest (those who are not good at teaching tend to drop out early).From my reading of the paper, both effects appear important and there is no simple answer. The data do suggest, howeve
28、r, that teacher effectiveness is pretty clear by the end of the second year, so the information to make an informed decision is available at that time.The authors also investigate the contentious issue of racial matching of students and teachers. Here they find strong evidence that minority teachers
29、 tend to be more effective with minority students. Again, it is unclear whether this is because of a role model effect (students respond better of their own race )or an empathy effect (teachers empathize better with students of their own race )or something else entirely.The authors also look at teac
30、her mobility. There is some evidence that teachers who quit teaching or switch schools tend to be below average in effectiveness. This is consistent with the survival-of-the-fittest model.54.The schoolmaster could decide wisely whether to further employ the teacher by the end of the.A. the first yea
