Systems approach for better education results (SABER) - teachers, aims to help fill this gap by collecting, analyzing, synthesizing, and disseminating comprehensive information on teacher policies in primary and secondary education systems around the world. SABER - teachers' collects data on ten core teacher policy areas to offer a comprehensive descriptive overview of the teacher policies that are in place in each participating education system. SABER - teachers analyzes the teacher policy data collected to assess each education system's progress in achieving eight teacher policy goals: (1) setting clear expectations for teachers; (2) attracting the best into teaching; (3) preparing teachers with useful training and experience; (4) matching teachers' skills with students' needs; (5) leading teachers with strong principals; (6) monitoring teaching and learning; (7) supporting teachers to improve instruction; and (8) motivating teachers to perform. By classifying countries according to their performance on each of the eight teacher policy goals, SABER - teachers can help diagnose the key challenges that countries face in ensuring they have effective teachers. The main focus of SABER - teachers is on policy design, rather than on policy implementation. It describes Benin's performance in each of the eight teacher policy goals, alongside comparative information from education systems that have consistently scored high results in international student achievement tests and have participated in SABER - teachers.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTACADEMIC POSITIONSACCESS TO INFORMATIONACHIEVEMENT DATAACHIEVEMENT TESTSADVANCED EDUCATIONANNUAL EXAMSASSESSMENT SYSTEMBEGINNING TEACHERSBUSINESS SCHOOLCAREERCAREER OPPORTUNITIESCAREERSCLASSROOMCLASSROOM ACTIVITIESCLASSROOM EXPERIENCECLASSROOM INSTRUCTIONCLASSROOM MANAGEMENTCLASSROOM PRACTICECLASSROOM TEACHINGCLASSROOMSCOGNITIVE SKILLSCONTEXTUAL FACTORSCURRICULUMDATA ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTDECISION MAKINGDEGREE PROGRAMSDISADVANTAGED POPULATIONSDISADVANTAGED STUDENTSECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATION ASSESSMENTEDUCATION GOALSEDUCATION LEVELEDUCATION POLICIESEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION PROGRAMSEDUCATION QUALITYEDUCATION STANDARDSEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATION TEACHERSEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEDUCATIONAL EVALUATIONEDUCATIONAL NEEDSEFFECT ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTEFFECTIVE TEACHERSEFFECTIVE TEACHINGEMPLOYMENTENTRY REQUIREMENTSEQUAL OPPORTUNITYEXAMSFOUNDATION COURSESHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINCENTIVES FOR TEACHERSINSTRUCTIONLEADERSHIPLEADERSHIP SKILLSLEARNINGLEARNING GOALSLIVING CONDITIONSMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONNATIONAL ASSESSMENTSNATIONAL CURRICULUMNATIONAL EDUCATIONPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERSPRIMARY TEACHERSPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTQUALIFIED TEACHERSQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY OF TEACHINGQUALITY TEACHERSQUALITY TEACHINGRURAL TEACHERSSCHOLARSHIPSSCHOOL ADMINISTRATIONSCHOOL CAREERSCHOOL DAYSCHOOL DISTRICTSCHOOL HEADSSCHOOL IMPROVEMENTSCHOOL LEADERSSCHOOL LEVELSCHOOL NETWORKSSCHOOL PERFORMANCESCHOOL PRINCIPALSSCHOOL SYSTEMSCHOOL SYSTEMSSCHOOL TEACHERSSCHOOL YEARSCHOOLINGSCHOOLSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY EDUCATION SYSTEMSSECONDARY EDUCATION TEACHERSSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERSSECONDARY TEACHERSSERVICE TRAININGSKILLS TRAININGSOCIAL SCIENCESOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCHSTUDENT ACHIEVEMENTSTUDENT ASSESSMENTSTUDENT ASSESSMENT METHODSSTUDENT ASSESSMENTSSTUDENT DATASTUDENT EVALUATIONSTUDENT LEARNINGSTUDENT LOANSSTUDENT OUTCOMESSTUDENT PERFORMANCESTUDENT TEACHER RATIOSTUDENT TEACHER RATIOSSUBJECT AREASSUBJECT KNOWLEDGESUBJECT MATTERSUBJECT MATTER KNOWLEDGESUBJECTSTEACHERTEACHER ABSENTEEISMTEACHER APPRAISALTEACHER CANDIDATESTEACHER DEPLOYMENTTEACHER DEVELOPMENTTEACHER EDUCATIONTEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMSTEACHER EFFECTIVENESSTEACHER EVALUATIONSTEACHER MANAGEMENTTEACHER PAYTEACHER PERFORMANCETEACHER PREPARATIONTEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTTEACHER PROMOTIONTEACHER QUALIFICATIONSTEACHER QUALITYTEACHER RATIOSTEACHER TRAINEESTEACHER TRAININGTEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMSTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING EXPERIENCETEACHING METHODSTEACHING PRACTICETEACHING QUALITYTRAINEESTRAINING COURSESTRAINING PROGRAMSURBAN SCHOOLVISITS TO SCHOOLSWORK EXPERIENCEYOUTH10.1596/21534
