“…For example, teachers in Jewish education throughout the Diaspora (Gamoran, Goldring, Robinson, Goodman, and Tammivaara 1997), as well as Jewish Israeli teachers, could enrich their belief system and professional Jewish educational growth by mutual interaction and constructivistic learning activities. Such activities provide meaningful learning that promotes cultural, historical, and religious identity as Jewish teachers.…”

This study presents a constructivistic viewpoint of the ranked order of ideal high school student traits as perceived by state religious teachers in Israel, and an explanation of their preferences based on the teachers' profile. The sample consisted of 357 junior high and high school teachers, who responded to a questionnaire containing 40 student traits and 46 indices on their background, teaching context, and belief system. Academic and religious traits were integrated throughout teachers' preferences, indicating their belief in the mutual importance of these educational goals. Teachers' belief systems explained the most variance in ideal high school student traits. BACKGROUND Purpose of the StudyThe purpose of this study is to: (1) present a multifaceted and multivariate definition of the ideal student, which includes both traits and structures and (2) explain the preference of the teachers by the three main areas of personal background, teaching context, and belief system. As such, this study presents research regarding perceptions

“…At the district level, continued provision of funding in the forms of substitutes and stipends for teachers is a critical condition for supporting instructional improvement (Akiba et al, 2015;Desimone et al, 2002;Gamoran, 2003;Spillane & Thompson, 1997). A previous survey of Florida teachers reported that they spent 12 hours over 1.5 months on average for one cycle of lesson study (Akiba et al, 2019).…”

The Race to the Top (RTTT) program incentivized states to use innovation for systemwide improvement of student outcomes, but little is known about how RTTT-funded innovation was sustained after the RTTT program ended. This mixed-methods study examined state and district approaches to sustaining an international innovation called lesson study, a teacher-driven, collaborative, inquiry-based teacher learning process imported from Japan and promoted statewide in Florida. While the state’s role in sustaining lesson study was limited, we found that districts that integrated lesson study into the district instructional system through a clear expectation and strategic adaptation, supported school and teacher ownership of lesson study practice, and provided necessary support and funding were more likely to sustain lesson study. In contrast, the districts that focused on implementation fidelity and district-led facilitation eventually phased out lesson study. Policy implications for sustaining federally funded professional development innovations are discussed.
