The united state of Wyoming: Teacher-to-teacher initiative boosts reading scores statewide

摘要

When teachers collaborate in schools, taking collective responsibility to improve instruction and achieve goals, student performance improves. When teachers collaborate statewide, the same good results happen. Wyoming is one example of a state that uses peer-to-peer professional learning, and the results are notable. When teachers joined together to form a statewide professional community, reading scores on the state assessment improved 12% in two years - solid evidence that student performance improves when teachers work toward common goals.
