Abstract
A study of 31 high-performing teachers in low-performing urban schools found that these teachers had certain traits in common. They were strict; they taught in traditional, explicit ways; there was little time in their classrooms when instruction was not occurring; and they moved around the room helping their students. They used very few constructivist or cooperative activities. And they stressed particular virtues, including respecting self and others, working hard, being responsible, never giving up, doing excellent work, trying one's best, being hopeful, thinking critically, being honest, and considering consequences. They strongly believed in their students' potential and pushed them to achieve.

NOTA DESTE BLOGGER:
Fui professor no ensino médio e agi basicamente nesses termos em sala de aula: o processo ensino-aprendizagem ocorre pela dedicação de professores e alunos em sala de aula, e que os alunos somente aprendem quando são capazes de reproduzir os conhecimentos apresentado pelos professores. Mas aqui no Brasil estão premiando a ignorância dos alunos e obrigando os professores a aprová-los.
Pobre Brasil!!!
Pobre Brasil!!!
