How a student grows up to become is the result of how his teachers moulded him to become. But if the teachers are not able to do their part well in shaping the students, the fate of the society will be affected.
The teachers have a crucial role in building the perceived future of their students. In the event that the students are misguided during their formative years, then the teachers have a huge responsibility for the future of the students.
The future of a student relies on the kind of education his teachers granted him. Hence, the educators should provide only the best fostering to their students.
It is reality that the quality of public education in the United States is put on challenge until these days. The image of public school educators is being criticized because of the surging malicious incidents involving their credibility and competence in the classroom.
More stains are smudged on the image of the teachers in the public schools these days. That is why the quality of public education has gone unimpressive through the years.
There is a considerable number of things to be done to “clean up” the quality of public education in the country. Competency and adherence to standards comprise the attack against teachers’ performance in many public schools.
Almost over a decade back, public school teachers were found to have “betrayed” and deceived the students and their parents through the former’s unprofessional conduct in school, based on research. There existed teaching malpractice by the way they ran and managed the supposed standard procedures such as test administering. It was found out that students were allowed to bring home their tests as home-works; students could take tests even beyond the allotted time; students who were considered poor in academics were discouraged from taking tests; students were given grades higher than their actual performance; and lastly, the teachers were not reprimanded for such misconduct and policy violations.
Researches are conducted to assess the real conduct and performance of the teachers behind the parent’s backs. Many years have passed and infamous issues continue to assault the reputation of teachers. The public education has gone multi-directional, meaning; teachers tend to deviate from the standard policies and procedures in implementing academic requirements. Research found out that there are educators who would allow students to bring home tests; would tolerate students to take the tests beyond the allotted duration; poor performing students were kept back from taking tests; grades given would be higher than actual performance—and such teachers would not be given sanctions for their dishonest unprofessional conduct.
Professional misconduct of teachers has shaken the public education because of the results of investigative research conducted in some cities in the country. Teachers were found out to have deviated from the norm of academic excellence as students were allowed to take their tests home; go beyond the prescribed test duration; students were given higher scores than actual performance—while no sanction was given to such malpractice.
The issue on unprofessional conduct of educators should be addressed right away regardless of how rampant it is because of the pressing effect it brings to the quality of public education. The most appropriate way to combat the problem is through a learning management system. Record-keeping, performance management, and other academic and non-academic tasks can be handled with convenience and efficiency through the LMS software. The LMS will allow centralization and standardization of all academic-related materials released to the students such as test questionnaires, manuals, and others. The centralization of information sharing through the internet will promote virtual learning to students and virtual management for educators. As such, compliance with the school’s standards is guaranteed among teachers, parents, students and the administrators. The LMS also provides a performance management feature that will monitor the conduct and behaviour not only of students, but also of teachers. This will guarantee the parents that the teachers are abiding by the school’s standard procedures. LMS can measure the performance of each students, hence will provide accurate grades in accordance to the actual inputs.
The issue on unprofessional conduct of educators must be terminated right away as it contributes to the deterioration of public education quality. A learning management system is the best solution to the degenerating dilemma. An LMS will help schools manage and track the academic and administrative prerequisites such as record-keeping, information sharing, etc. The educators and students can be monitored and assessed through the LMS software. The administrators can make the academic activities standard as the LMS can be practiced through the Internet. The parents and students are assured of the teachers’ compliance to school standards. The curriculum and syllabus are made available online that will let the students and parents know what to expect. The performance of teachers and students can also be monitored through the performance management feature of the LMS. For the grading system, the parents will no longer worry about incredible grades because the LMS can quantify the actual performance of each student according to work inputs.
Teaching malpractice is not in any way acceptable, so it has to stop. The key to resolving the problem is a learning management system or LMS. The school can be guided and aided by LMS as software in terms of performance, training and education management. The web, as the central hub, can accommodate standardized academic and administrative requirements. Parents no longer need to worry about the credibility of the teaching approach and methodology of educators since information source is made standard and official. The parents are assured of an honest performance of teachers and their children through the performance management feature of the LMS. Lastly, the actual performance of each student can me measured since the LMS has such capability, thus ensuring accurate grading system.
