31 Ann Duffett Steve Farkas Andrew J. Rotherham Elena Silva 2008 Waiting to Be Won Over: Teachers Speak on the Profession, Unions, and Reform As Barnett Berry explains in his blog, <a href="http://teachingquality.typepad.com/building_the_profession/2008/05/listening-to-te.html">Building the Teaching Profession</a>, this report from Education Sector "highlights issues related to weak teacher evaluation models, as well as unyielding tenure and compensation systems. It surfaces teacher beliefs regarding reforms designed to improve teaching, proposals for differential pay, and the role of unions. Interestingly, the report also reveals key points of distinction and divergence among new teachers and veterans." Duffett, A.; Farkas, S.; Rotherham, A.J.; & Silva, E. (2008).
