Описание: Speaker: Prof. Thomas F. Luschei

Time: 7:00pm-8:30pm
Language: English

Summary:
Educational researchers and policy makers agree that improving teacher quality is one of the most effective ways to promote student success, increase school quality, and stimulate national economic growth. Yet opinions on how to do so vary greatly. Strategies offered to promote teacher quality range from increasing teachers’ educational attainment and salaries to reducing teacher credentialing requirements. These diverse opinions on how to increase teacher quality stem from different conceptions of what makes for a good teacher, whether and how teachers respond to incentives, and the role and status of teachers in society. In this workshop, participants will confront and discuss several foundational questions and assumptions related to the improvement of teacher quality. Through a formal presentation and small-group discussion, participants will then examine these questions in light of recent empirical evidence related to the improvement of teacher quality. After considering conceptual arguments, empirical evidence, and implications for policy and practice, participants will develop and articulate their own evidence-based suggestions for improving teacher quality.
