Education Poll

I read an article titled, The Edutopia Poll, written by Sara Ring.  It was about a study completed in 2009.  It found out that, “When highly effective teachers are hired, not only do their students’ test scores improves, but the scores of students in classes they don’t teach also get a boost.”  In her article Sara wrote that the results were surprising.  After thinking about this idea, I do not believe that the results are surprising at all.  Teachers love to share ideas whether they are good or bad.  Every story could be beneficial in one way or another.  Teachers know that teachers “steal” ideas from one another.  Successful people feed off of another and motivate people to put their best foot forward.
