In deference to a world enthralled by shows like Extreme Makeover and Keeping Up With the Kardashians, the public school district in Washington has hired a reality television company to produce videos intended to improve the skills of its teachers. The 80 videos, 5 to 15 minutes in length, are peppered with quick jump cuts, slick screen labels and a jaunty soundtrack. In short interviews and classroom snippets, the district’s highest-performing teachers demonstrate how they teach a range of lessons, from adding decimal numbers to guiding students of differing ability levels through a close reading of the Marshall Plan.
The videos, financed by a $900,000 grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, were developed as a complement to Washington’s evaluation system, known as Impact, in which teachers are judged on student test scores and classroom observations. Through these evaluations, versions of which are being put in place across the country, teachers receive feedback on the areas where they need to improve, as well as a numerical rating. But many of Washington’s teachers complained that they needed examples of the highest performing level. Because teachers spend most of their days isolated in their own classrooms, they rarely get a chance to observe their peers. The videos give them a way to peek behind the closed doors of their colleagues.
Now, with new national curriculum standards driving teachers to modify their longstanding teaching practices, a broad range of school districts, universities, companies and nonprofits are rushing to develop online video libraries showing model teaching. A nonprofit group allied with the New York State Department of Education is developing a series of about 200 videos demonstrating lessons aligned with the Common Core standards for reading and math that 45 states and the District of Columbia have adopted. Teaching Channel, a nonprofit, has a collection of more than 500 professionally produced videos of teachers recommended by school districts and other teacher organizations. The University of Michigan is indexing about 16,000 videos of fourth-through ninth-grade English and math teachers in six urban districts shot by researchers financed by the Gates Foundation. Betterlesson. com, a popular sharing site for lesson plans, is working to develop a video component. And hundreds of amateur clips have been uploaded to YouTube by individual teachers.
Education experts warn that video needs to be part of a broader program of professional development, comparing the use of video in teaching to how it is used by athletes. In Washington, evaluators and principals will recommend specific videos to teachers. Jill Nyhus, senior director of technology for the Washington schools, said principals or instructional coaches would also convene gatherings where teachers could discuss the videos.
It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that the public school district in Washington
选项
A、made videos of teaching under the inspiration of successful TV shows.
B、got the idea of making videos after having interviews with good teachers.
C、accepted the offer of a TV company to make videos of the successful teachers.
D、wanted to make the classroom teaching a successful reality TV show.
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。根据题干关键词the public school district in Washington定位至第一段第一句。该句明确表明,华盛顿地区的公共学区考虑到现今社会中真人秀电视节目的流行,才有了制作优秀教师教学视频的计划,故[A]为答案。第一段第三句说明,对教师的采访是视频的内容,而不是制作视频的起因,因此排除[B];文章第一段没有提到电视台主动提出制作该类视频,因此排除[C];同样第三句表明,视频的内容是对教师的采访和教学片段,而不是使其以电视真人秀的形式呈现教学生活,因此排除[D]。
