据我所知,各州都要求至少有本科,还要考教师证,非教育专业的,如果不读硕,也必 须补上实习和一些教育基础课才能考证.纽约那边更要求有硕士才能当老师. 有人说美式教育是a mile wide and an inch deep,其实很形象.什么都蜻蜓点水教点 ,但都不深入.基本上K和1年级老师的重点都放在教学生social skill上,因为没上 过preschool的小孩也不少,一开始无法适应学校的条条框框.真正开始教东西要到二 三年级.
不要这么激动,在网络论坛想说服意见相左的基本是徒劳,而且我看到这么多华人家长 欣赏美国的基础教育,真是一种欣慰油然而生啊 HERE'S THE LINK YOU NEED http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jonathan-r-cole/waiting-for-superman-or-g_b_794381.html There are other disturbing symptomatic facts: 69 percent of United States public school students in fifth through eighth grade are taught mathematics by a teacher without a degree or certificate in mathematics... [And] 93 percent of United States public school students in fifth through eighth grade are taught the physical sciences by a teacher without a degree or certificate in the physical sciences; the United States now ranks 27th among developed nations in the proportion of its students who earn bachelor's degrees in science or engineering; we rank 20th among industrialized countries in high school completion rates, 16th in college completion rates. 1 What flows from all of this? Forty-nine percent of adults in the United States do not know how long it takes for the Earth to revolve around the Sun . This level of ignorance, which has nothing to do with analytic ability, extends far beyond science and technology. Only about six in 10 Americans can correctly identify Joe Biden as the nation's current vice president; atheists and agnostics demonstrate greater knowledge of the Bible's content than Catholics and Protestants. In short, the relatively low level of scientific, mathematical, and general literacy in the United States is alarming and it is not improving. In fact, these levels of knowledge are closely correlated with the educational achievement of those who occupy these classifications.
对那个测试很感兴趣,找到了原始数据PISA target populations and samples,几十 个国家地区,美国好像是唯一Total enrolled population of 15-year-olds at grade 7 or above (4210475)大于Total population of 15-year-olds (4103738),上 海对应数字100592 小于 112000。 然后美国参加的学生(5233)跟上海参加学生数(5115)相当。 再看看这个,鬼知道这些政客想做什么。 http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/12/17/honda.education/
