Abstract
Research suggests that teacher quality
is the main school-based predictor of student achievement
and that several consecutive years of outstanding teaching
can offset the learning deficits of disadvantaged students
(Hanushek and Rivkin, 2006; Nye et al, 2004; Park and
Hannum, 2001; Rivkin et al, 2005; Rockoff, 2004; Sanders,
1998; Sanders and Rivers 1996; and Vignoles et al, 2000).
However, it is not yet clear exactly which teacher policies
can raise teacher effectiveness (Goldhaber, 2002 and Rivkin
et al, 2005). Thus, devising effective policies to improve
teaching quality remains a challenge. The eight policy goals
includes the following headings: setting clear expectations
for teachers; attracting the best into teaching; preparing
teachers with useful training and experience; matching
teachers' skills with students' needs; leading
teachers with strong principals; monitoring teaching and
learning; supporting teachers to improve instruction; and
motivating teachers to perform.
