SABER teacher's collects data on 10 core teacher policy areas to offer a comprehensive descriptive overview of the teacher policies that are in place in each participating education system. To offer informed policy guidance SABER teachers analyzes the information collected to assess the extent to which the teacher policies of an education system are aligned with those policies that research evidence to date has shown to have a positive effect on student achievement. 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.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSENTEEISMACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTACADEMIC POSITIONSACADEMIC YEARACCESS TO INFORMATIONACHIEVEMENT DATAACHIEVEMENT TESTSACHIEVEMENTSASSESSMENT SYSTEMBACHELOR DEGREEBUSINESS SCHOOLCAREERCAREER ADVANCEMENTCAREER OPPORTUNITIESCAREERSCERTIFICATION OF TEACHERSCLASSROOMCLASSROOM EXPERIENCECLASSROOM INSTRUCTIONCLASSROOM MANAGEMENTCLASSROOM PRACTICECLASSROOM TEACHINGCLASSROOMSCOGNITIVE SKILLSCOLLEGE GRADUATESCOMPETITIVE SALARIESCONTEXTUAL FACTORSCURRICULUMDATA ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTDECISION MAKINGDEGREE IN EDUCATIONDISADVANTAGED STUDENTSECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATION DEGREEEDUCATION GOALSEDUCATION LEVELEDUCATION OF CHILDRENEDUCATION POLICIESEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION PROGRAMSEDUCATION QUALITYEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATIONAL EVALUATIONEDUCATIONAL STANDARDSEFFECT ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTEFFECTIVE TEACHERSEFFECTIVE TEACHINGEMPLOYMENTENTRY REQUIREMENTSEQUAL OPPORTUNITYEVALUATION OF STUDENTSEXAMSFINAL EXAMINATIONSGRADE LEVELSGRADINGHIGHER EDUCATIONHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINCENTIVES FOR TEACHERSINSTRUCTIONINTERNATIONAL EDUCATIONINTERNATIONAL STUDENT ASSESSMENTJOB PLACEMENTLEADERSHIPLEADERSHIP SKILLSLEARNINGLEARNING OUTCOMESLESSON PLANNINGLESSON PLANSLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLEVELS OF EDUCATIONMENTORSMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONNATIONAL ASSESSMENTSNATIONAL CURRICULUMNATIONAL EXAMSNATIONAL TESTINGNUMBER OF STUDENTSPEDAGOGIC SKILLSPEDAGOGICAL STAFFPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY EDUCATION TEACHERSPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERSPRIMARY TEACHERSPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTPUBLIC SCHOOLSQUALIFIED TEACHERSQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY OF TEACHINGQUALITY TEACHERSQUALITY TEACHINGREADINGRURAL AREASSALARY INCREASESSANITATIONSANITATION IN SCHOOLSSCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMSCHOLARSHIPSSCHOOL ADMINISTRATIONSCHOOL ADMINISTRATORSSCHOOL CAREERSCHOOL DISTRICTSCHOOL HEADSSCHOOL IMPROVEMENTSCHOOL LEADERSSCHOOL LEVELSCHOOL NETWORKSSCHOOL PERFORMANCESCHOOL PRINCIPALSSCHOOL RATIOSCHOOL SUBJECTSSCHOOL SYSTEMSCHOOL SYSTEMSSCHOOL TEACHERSCHOOL TIMESCHOOL YEARSCHOOLINGSCHOOLSSCIENCE TEACHERSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY EDUCATION SYSTEMSSECONDARY EDUCATION TEACHERSSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERSECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERSSECONDARY TEACHERSSERVICE TRAININGSOCIAL SCIENCESOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCHSTUDENT ACHIEVEMENTSTUDENT ASSESSMENTSTUDENT ASSESSMENT METHODSSTUDENT DATASTUDENT EVALUATIONSTUDENT LEARNINGSTUDENT OUTCOMESSTUDENT PERFORMANCESTUDENT TEACHER RATIOSTUDENT TEACHER RATIOSSTUDENT TEACHERSSUBJECT AREASSUBJECT KNOWLEDGESUBJECT MATTERSUBJECT MATTER KNOWLEDGESUBJECTSTEACHERTEACHER APPRAISALTEACHER ASSESSMENTTEACHER CANDIDATESTEACHER DEPLOYMENTTEACHER EDUCATIONTEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMSTEACHER EFFECTIVENESSTEACHER EVALUATIONSTEACHER INCENTIVESTEACHER MANAGEMENTTEACHER PARTICIPATIONTEACHER PAYTEACHER PERFORMANCETEACHER PREPARATIONTEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTTEACHER PROMOTIONTEACHER QUALITYTEACHER RATIOSTEACHER SHORTAGESTEACHER TRAINEESTEACHER TRAININGTEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMSTEACHER TURNOVERTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING EXPERIENCETEACHING METHODSTEACHING PRACTICETEACHING QUALITYTEACHING SKILLSTEACHING STRATEGIESTRAINEESTRAINING COURSESTRAINING PROGRAMSUNIVERSITIESURBAN SCHOOLVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONWORK EXPERIENCEYOUTHWorld Bank10.1596/21758
