     (7)______, there’s a far more direct approach: measuring the amount of (8)______ a teacher spends delivering relevant instruction—(9)______, how much teaching a teacher actually gets done in a school day.
    This is hardly a new(10)______. Thirty years ago two studies using this approach found that some teachers were able to deliver(11)______ 14 more weeks a year of relevant instruction than their less efficient(12)______.
    There was no(13)______ to their success: it was obvious that the efficient teachers(14)______ strictly to the curriculum, maintained stern discipline and(15)______ non-instructional activities, like(16)______ unessential classroom business when they(17)______ focused on the curriculum.
    And both studies found that the teachers who(18)______ more were also the teachers who(19)______ students who performed well on(20)______ tests. [br] (18)
