David Steiner, the dean of the Hunter College School of Education, was selected today to be the new commissioner of the state Education Dept.
From the news release:
Regents Chancellor Merryl H. Tisch said, “It is not enough to simply raise standards and hope for the best. Our teachers need to be prepared to help kids meet and exceed these standards. Study after study confirms that teacher quality is the most important factor under the control of schools in boosting student performance. David Steiner has pushed the envelope, challenged orthodoxy and developed rigorous evidence-based approaches that help prepare and support teachers in a diverse range of settings to lead their students to remarkable gains in achievement.”
