This book will help school systems improve their teacher workforce
by drawing important lessons from nations with high-performing
educational systems, as well as from successful state experiments
in the United States. The authors examine common features and
differences in the approaches of high-performing systems that made
education a top priority and developed high-leverage strategies to
meet their goals. Their varied solutions offer valuable ideas for
how to create a strong teacher and school administrator corps from
recruitment and preparation through induction, professional
development, evaluation, and career advancement into leadership
roles. Chapters focusing on systems in Finland, Ontario, and
Singapore are coauthored by local scholars with extensive knowledge
of the history and current status of policy and practice in their
nation. A final chapter highlights attributes that are absolutely
necessary for any education system to flourish. The book will be
useful to policymakers, practitioners, and researchers interested
in strengthening the quality of teaching.
