An American Radioworks documentary looks at teacher improvement.
Research shows that good teaching makes a big difference in how much kids learn.
But the U.S. lacks an effective system for training new teachers or helping them improve once they're on the job.
We'll ask why on a back-to-school edition of the KSUT Sunday Special. The American RadioWorks documentary Teaching Teachers looks at what it might take to improve American teaching on a wide scale.
We'll also go inside U.S. schools that are taking a page from Japan, and rethinking the way they approach the idea of teacher improvement.
Join us for an American RadioWorks documentary Teaching Teachers, this Sunday afternoon at 5, on the KSUT Sunday Special.
