Math Teacher

How well do America’s future math teachers stack up against their counterparts around the world? Just so-so, according to a new study released last week, the New York Times reports. They earned an average C grade, and were well and truly aced by rivals from education-centric countries like Singapore and Taiwan. Overwhelming evidence suggests that teachers with master's degrees are not more effective than teachers with bachelor's degrees. This has led policymakers to look for other ways to improve teacher training and boost student achievement.
