Efficient and effective are two different things.
Tenured teachers would typically be more efficient, they have learned through experience the things that work the best and the quickest.
I believe that new teaches are typically the most effective because they are more enthusiastic and will go that extra little bit.

Neither one. Is the teacher enthusiastic about teaching? Is the teacher the type of person to reflect on his or her teaching? Does the teacher know content of the discipline? Does the teacher know about the psychology of learning and the methodology and philosophy of teaching? Tenure means nothing to me as far as good teaching goes. And a newly graduated teacher with honor who does not have the skills or get up and go to get the job done does not impress me either. If you list on your resume or c.v. that you have taken courses or workshops on teaching, that impresses me. If you give me actual positive student evaluations, that also impresses me. If you get up in front of me and others on a committee interviewing you for a teaching position and do a good job, that impresses me. If you start intellectualizing during an interview, begin downing undergrads who ask you an unusual question, or use sarcastic humor with someone on a committee who does not know you from Adam, my opinion of you as a potential teacher will go down hill pretty quickly.

Depends on the teacher! Lots of tenured teachers tend to get lazy, but that's not always the case.

Now I KNOW this one from years of experience and frustration with the 'new' world order....tenure FOR SURE! All the qualifications in the world won't mean squat when faced with situations that require the seasoned and calm response of experience. Teaching is about problem solving, sharing and communicating, appropriate social interaction and modelling, building confidence, giving opportunities for exploration and learning, acknowledging and recognizing strengths as well as weaknesses....etc. YOU TEACH CHILDREN...NOT SUBJECTS!
Do I want the guy who read all the texts and aced the exam to fix my car...or the person who has done it many times and has a real talent for it?

Teacher with tenure is more experience and knowledgeable than the person who is fresh graduate with pride.

depends on the people but if they are equal in qualfications i would choose the teacher with tenure. to be a great teacher takes more than college. tenure will give them the edge.

I found that if the teacher with tenure was truly a teacher, they have the wisdom a fresh teacher lacks.

I'd say tenured because they have more experience.
