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.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTACADEMIC PERFORMANCEACCREDITATIONACHIEVEMENT DATAACHIEVEMENT TESTSBASIC SKILLSBEGINNING TEACHERSBETTER TEACHERSBUSINESS SCHOOLCAREERCAREER OPPORTUNITIESCAREER PATHSCAREERSCERTIFIED TEACHERSCLASS SIZECLASS TIMECLASSROOMCLASSROOM CHARACTERISTICSCLASSROOM EXPERIENCECLASSROOM INSTRUCTIONCLASSROOM MANAGEMENTCLASSROOM PRACTICECLASSROOM TEACHINGCLASSROOMSCURRICULACURRICULUMDECENTRALIZATIONDECENTRALIZATION OF EDUCATIONDISADVANTAGED STUDENTSEARLY GRADESECONOMICS OF EDUCATIONEDUCATION ECONOMICSEDUCATION FINANCEEDUCATION OUTCOMESEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION QUALITYEDUCATION REFORMEDUCATION REFORMSEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTEDUCATIONAL EVALUATIONEDUCATIONAL OUTCOMESEDUCATIONAL OUTPUTEDUCATIONAL PERFORMANCEEDUCATIONAL POLICYEDUCATIONAL QUALITYEDUCATIONAL RESEARCHEDUCATIONAL TESTINGEDUCATORSEFFECTIVE TEACHERSEMPLOYMENTENTRY REQUIREMENTSEQUAL OPPORTUNITYETHICSEVALUATION OF EDUCATIONEXAMSEXPENDITURESEXPERIENCED TEACHERSGENDER DIFFERENCESGRADINGGRADUATION RATESHIGH SCHOOLHIGH SCHOOLSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESINCENTIVES FOR TEACHERSINSTRUCTIONINSTRUCTIONAL TIMEINTERVENTIONSLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETSLEADERSHIPLEARNINGLEARNING ACHIEVEMENTLEARNING LEVELSLEARNING OUTCOMESLESSON PLANNINGLETLITERATUREMASTER TEACHERSMATH TEACHERSMIDDLE SCHOOLNATIONAL ASSESSMENTSNATIONAL CURRICULUMNATIONAL UNIVERSITYNUMBER OF TEACHERSPAPERSPEDAGOGYPRESERVICE TEACHER TRAININGPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTSPRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERSPRIVATE SCHOOLSPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTPUBLIC SCHOOLPUBLIC SCHOOLINGPUBLIC SCHOOLSPUPIL PERFORMANCEQUALIFIED TEACHERSQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY OF TEACHERSQUALITY TEACHERSREADINGRESEARCH REPORTSANITATIONSCHOLASTIC ACHIEVEMENTSCHOOL ADMINISTRATORSSCHOOL AUTONOMYSCHOOL DISTRICTSCHOOL EFFECTIVENESSSCHOOL EFFECTSSCHOOL EXPERIENCESCHOOL FINANCESCHOOL HEADSSCHOOL HOURSSCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURESCHOOL LEADERSSCHOOL LEVELSCHOOL MANAGEMENTSCHOOL OWNERSSCHOOL PERFORMANCESCHOOL PRINCIPALSSCHOOL QUALITYSCHOOL SYSTEMSSCHOOL TEACHERSCHOOL YEARSCHOOLINGSCHOOLING QUALITYSCHOOLSSCIENCE ACHIEVEMENTSCIENCE TEACHERSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTSSECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERSECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERSSERVICE TRAININGSKILLED TEACHERSSMALL SCHOOLSSOCIAL SCIENCESOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCHSPECIAL LEARNINGSPECIAL LEARNING NEEDSSTUDENT ACHIEVEMENTSTUDENT LEARNINGSTUDENT LEARNING ASSESSMENTSTUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMESSTUDENT OUTCOMESSTUDENT PERFORMANCESTUDENT POPULATIONSTUDENT POPULATIONSSTUDENT TEACHERSSTUDENTS PER TEACHERSUBJECT MATTERSUBJECTSTEACHERTEACHER ABSENTEEISMTEACHER ATTRITIONTEACHER BEHAVIORTEACHER CERTIFICATIONTEACHER DEVELOPMENTTEACHER EDUCATIONTEACHER EDUCATION REFORMTEACHER EFFECTIVENESSTEACHER EVALUATIONTEACHER EVALUATIONSTEACHER HIRINGTEACHER INCENTIVESTEACHER KNOWLEDGETEACHER MANAGEMENTTEACHER MOBILITYTEACHER ORGANIZATIONSTEACHER PAYTEACHER PERFORMANCETEACHER PERFORMANCE APPRAISALTEACHER PREPARATIONTEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTTEACHER QUALIFICATIONSTEACHER QUALITYTEACHER RECRUITMENTTEACHER SALARIESTEACHER SHORTAGETEACHER SHORTAGESTEACHER SUPPLYTEACHER SUPPORTTEACHER TRAININGTEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMSTEACHER TURNOVERTEACHER UNIONSTEACHER WORKFORCETEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING ASSIGNMENTSTEACHING EXPERIENCETEACHING FORCETEACHING PERFORMANCETEACHING QUALITYTEACHING STAFFTENURETEST SCORESTEXTBOOKTRAINING PROGRAMSUNIVERSITY GRADUATESURBAN SCHOOLURBAN SCHOOLSWORKERSYOUTH10.1596/17674
