However, it is not yet clear exactly which teacher policies can raise teacher effectiveness thus, devising effective policies to improve teaching quality remains a challenge. A new tool, Systems Approach for Better Education Results (SABER)-teachers, fills this gap by collecting, analyzing, synthesizing, and disseminating comprehensive information on teacher policies in primary and secondary education across a range of different education systems. In this report, we discuss the findings from the application of SABER-teachers in Serbia. The goal is to enable policymakers to learn about how other countries address the same policy challenges related to teacher management and thus how to make well-informed policy choices that will lead to improved learning outcomes.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSENTEEISMACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTACADEMIC LEADERSACCREDITATIONACHIEVEMENT DATAADVANCED DEGREEBETTER TEACHERSCAREERCAREER ADVANCEMENTCAREER DECISIONSCAREER OPPORTUNITIESCAREER PATHSCAREERSCLASS TIMECLASSROOMCLASSROOM EXPERIENCECLASSROOM MANAGEMENTCLASSROOM PRACTICECLASSROOM TEACHINGCLASSROOMSCURRICULUMCURRICULUM PLANNINGDATA ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTDISADVANTAGED POPULATIONSDISADVANTAGED STUDENTSECONOMICS OF EDUCATIONEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION PROGRAMSEDUCATION QUALITYEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATIONAL EVALUATIONEDUCATIONAL OUTPUTEDUCATIONAL PERFORMANCEEDUCATIONAL POLICYEDUCATIONAL RESEARCHEFFECTIVE TEACHERSEFFECTIVE TEACHINGEMPLOYMENTEQUAL OPPORTUNITYEVALUATION METHODSEXPERIENCED PRINCIPALSFOREIGN LANGUAGESHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESINCENTIVES FOR TEACHERSINSTRUCTIONINSTRUCTION METHODSINTERVENTIONSJOB SATISFACTIONLEADERSHIPLEARNINGLEARNING OUTCOMESLETLITERATUREMATHEMATICSMENTOR TEACHERSMENTORSMOBILITYNATIONAL ASSESSMENTPEDAGOGYPOLITICAL SCIENCEPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERSPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTPUBLIC EDUCATIONPUBLIC SCHOOLPUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERSPUBLIC SCHOOLSQUALIFIED TEACHERSQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY TEACHERSQUALITY TEACHINGSCHOOL ADMINISTRATORSSCHOOL BUILDINGSSCHOOL EFFECTIVENESSSCHOOL LEADERSSCHOOL LEVELSCHOOL PERFORMANCESCHOOL PRINCIPALSSCHOOL QUALITYSCHOOL SYSTEMSCHOOL SYSTEMSSCHOOL TEACHERSCHOOL TEACHERSSCHOOLSSCIENCE TEACHERSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERSECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERSSERVICE TRAININGSOCIAL SCIENCESOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCHSTUDENT ACHIEVEMENTSTUDENT ASSESSMENTSTUDENT ASSESSMENT METHODSSTUDENT ASSESSMENTSSTUDENT GROUPSSTUDENT LEARNINGSTUDENT PERFORMANCESTUDENT POPULATIONSSTUDENT SCORESSTUDENT TEACHERSSTUDENT-TEACHER RATIOSSUBJECT MATTERSUBJECT MATTER KNOWLEDGESUBJECTSSUPPLY OF TEACHERSTEACHERTEACHER CANDIDATESTEACHER COMPETENCIESTEACHER DEPLOYMENTTEACHER EDUCATIONTEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMSTEACHER EFFECTIVENESSTEACHER EVALUATIONSTEACHER INCENTIVESTEACHER MANAGEMENTTEACHER ORGANIZATIONSTEACHER PAYTEACHER PERFORMANCETEACHER PREPARATIONTEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTTEACHER QUALIFICATIONSTEACHER QUALITYTEACHER RATIOSTEACHER RECRUITMENTTEACHER SHORTAGETEACHER TRAININGTEACHER TRAINING COLLEGESTEACHER TURNOVERTEACHER UNIONSTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING EXPERIENCETEACHING METHODSTEACHING PRACTICETEACHING QUALITYTEACHING STAFFTRAINING PROGRAMSURBAN SCHOOLSWORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/16553
