Devos: They Made Her Life a "Living Hell"

DeVos' mission to teach students has been unclear. From interviews and previous work, it seems that she believes in:

School choice: providing all students equal access to a high-quality education
Less government interference in schools: Allowing teachers to innovate and create without being constrained by regulations.

Beyond that, her statements have not been definitive.

Her stock is most likely implying her rich history of donating and working with educational causes.

She was the chair of the pro-school-choice advocacy group American Federation for Children which desired allow public school money to go to private school education (vouchers, etc.) She also worked hard to spread charter schools throughout Michigan.
She lobbies for the idea of a "free-market" education which focuses expanding private/charter schools. The focus in on the money and tuition and not on curriculum or resources.

However, this does not make her immune from criticism or experienced in the areas in which she criticizes. Her mission appears to be for school choice which is at odds with public schools. So, when she enters a public school, it is not surprising that they aren't happy.

Parent/Teacher Connection: Give Positive Reinforcement

Classroom management is all about learning how to work with a large of group of diverse children in an organized and controlled manner. Like parents, a teacher needs to get through tasks that may not entertain the child at all times (parents have to grocery shop/teachers have to teach long division). The activity may not be inherently interesting to the child and therefore, behavior can become an issue as they try to entertain themselves. One skill that a teacher employs is positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement is an action that occurs after a positive behavior is shown. For example, if a child raises his hand instead of blurting, he gets a reward. Or, if a child says "please" and "thank you", they are rewarded. It gives treats to good behavior and therefore increases that chances that the behavior is done again. The child wants the reward, so they repeat that good behavior. There are many ways to do this in the classroom and at home: Nonverb...

Where is the Respect?: 3 Reasons Teaching Is Not Taken Seriously

Teachers are seen as some kind of martyrs in society. There is this odd amount of condescending respect for teachers. Most conversations go like this: Person: What do you do? Teacher: I'm a teacher Person: Aw...that's awesome. How fun... But this is the disconnect. The public appreciates teachers but sees them as simplistic service workers who have fun jobs. They remember their own teachers and recall the basics of a school day and extrapolate from that. How could teaching be that hard, my own teacher barely did anything. And there comes the disrespect in society. Teachers suddenly become this overprivileged group that is mocked in the public sphere for being greedy or lazy or both. There are three reasons for this disconnect in society: 1. A Typical Teacher's Work Load is Not Understood Most people have attended school and had a teacher. They know that their teacher stood at the front of the room, had them read from books, assigned homework and gave grades. It ...

Teaching Values Won't Close the Achievement Gap

The lack of achievement is a major issue in schools. DeVos is not clear here, but what she implying is that the low test scores in both Math and Reading. However, this is not the term used in education - the more common term is called the Achievement Gap . The Achievement Gap is the gap between the highest achieving kids and the lowest achieving kids. There are many MANY reasons why this occurs: Schools : low expectations, lack of rigor, unsafe environment, poor or undemanding curriculum Community : lack of healthcare or social services, lack of access to cultural or educational centers (museums/libraries), lack of childcare Teachers : uncertified or inexperienced teachers, lack of cultural sensitivity, inadequate materials Background: income level, health during mom's pregnancy, diet/nutrition, primary language skills Student-related factors: interest in school, level of effort, responsibility in their learning. Family support: ...
