Why we need to raise achievement Dylan Wiliam

Raising achievement matters 2  For individuals:  Increased lifetime salary  Improved health  Longer life  For society:  Lower criminal justice costs  Lower healthcare costs  Increased economic growth: Net present value to Australia of a 25-point increase on PISA: AU$2.5 trillion

Which of the following categories of skill is disappearing from the workplace most rapidly? 1.Routine manual 2.Non-routine manual 3.Routine cognitive 4.Complex communication 5.Expert thinking/problem-solving 3

But what is learned matters too 4 (Autor, Levy, & Murnane, 2003)

Which jobs are off-shoreable? Off-shoreableNot off-shoreable Skilled Radiographer Security analyst Tax accountant Surgeon (?) Bricklayer Hairdresser Unskilled Food packager Data entry clerk Call centre operator Grocery store clerk Receptionist Retail salesperson 5

There is only one 21st century skill So the model that says learn while you’re at school, while you’re young, the skills that you will apply during your lifetime is no longer tenable. The skills that you can learn when you’re at school will not be applicable. They will be obsolete by the time you get into the workplace and need them, except for one skill. The one really competitive skill is the skill of being able to learn. It is the skill of being able not to give the right answer to questions about what you were taught in school, but to make the right response to situations that are outside the scope of what you were taught in school. We need to produce people who know how to act when they’re faced with situations for which they were not specifically prepared. (Papert, 1998) 6

Where’s the solution? 7  Structure:  Smaller/larger high schools  K–8 schools/“All-through” schools  Alignment:  Curriculum reform  Textbook replacement  Governance:  Charter schools  Vouchers  Technology:  Computers  Interactive whiteboards  Workforce reforms

What matters is teacher quality 8  Take a group of 50 teachers:  Students taught by the most effective teacher in that group of 50 teachers learn in six months what those taught by the average teacher learn in a year.  Students taught by the least effective teacher in that group of 50 teachers will take two years to achieve the same learning (Hanushek & Rivkin, 2006)  And furthermore:  In the classrooms of the most effective teachers, students from disadvantaged backgrounds learn at the same rate as those from advantaged backgrounds (Hamre & Pianta, 2005).

Improving teacher quality takes time 9  A classic labor force issue with two (non-exclusive) solutions:  Replace existing teachers with better ones.  Help existing teachers become even more effective.

Replace existing teachers with better ones? 10  Firing ineffective teachers?  De-selecting least effective 10%: 2 points on PISA  Raising the bar for entry into the profession?  Exclude the lowest performing 30%: 5 points on PISA  Merit pay for effective teachers?  Can’t be done fairly and doesn’t work: 0 points on PISA

So we have to help the teachers we have improve 11  Improve the effectiveness of existing teachers:  The “love the one you’re with” strategy  It can be done: Provided we focus rigorously on the things that matter Even when they’re hard to do
