Student achievement has been found to correlate with economic and social progress (Hanushek and Woessmann 2007, 2009; Pritchett and Viarengo 2009; Campante and Glaeser 2009), and teachers are key: recent studies have shown 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 2010; Rivkin, et al. 2005; Nye et al. 2004; Rockoff 2004; Park and Hannum 2001; Sanders and Rivers 1996). However, achieving the right teacher policies to ensure that every classroom has a motivated, supported, and competent teacher remains a challenge, because evidence on the impacts of many teacher policies remains insufficient and scattered, the impact of many reforms depends on specific design features, and teacher policies can have very different impacts depending on the context and other education policies in place.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSENTEEISMACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTACADEMIC SPECIALISTSACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCREDITATIONACHIEVEMENT DATAACHIEVEMENT TESTSBASIC LEARNINGBASIC LEARNING MATERIALSBEGINNING TEACHERSCAREERCAREER OPPORTUNITIESCAREERSCLASSROOMCLASSROOM ADMINISTRATIONCLASSROOM EXPERIENCECLASSROOM MANAGEMENTCLASSROOM PRACTICECLASSROOM TEACHINGCLASSROOM TIMECOGNITIVE SKILLSCONTEXTUAL FACTORSCURRICULUMCURRICULUM PLANNINGCURRICULUM SPECIALISTSDATA ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTDEGREESDISADVANTAGED POPULATIONSDISADVANTAGED STUDENTSECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATION LEVELEDUCATION POLICIESEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION QUALITYEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATIONAL EVALUATIONEFFECT ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTEFFECTIVE TEACHERSEFFECTIVE TEACHINGEMPLOYMENTENROLLMENTENTRY REQUIREMENTSEQUAL OPPORTUNITYGRADINGHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINCENTIVES FOR TEACHERSINSTRUCTIONJOB SATISFACTIONLEADERSHIPLEARNINGLEARNING ASSESSMENTSLEARNING MATERIALSLETLIBRARIESMATHEMATICSMENTORSNATIONAL ASSESSMENTSPEDAGOGYPHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTUREPRIMARY TEACHERPRIMARY TEACHERSPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTPUPIL-TEACHER RATIOSQUALIFIED TEACHERSQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY TEACHERSSCHOOL CAREERSCHOOL FINANCESCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURESCHOOL LEADERSSCHOOL LEVELSCHOOL NETWORKSSCHOOL PRINCIPALSSCHOOL QUALITYSCHOOL SYSTEMSCHOOL SYSTEMSSCHOOL TEACHERSSCHOOL VISITSSCHOOLINGSCHOOLSSCIENCE TEACHERSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY EDUCATION SYSTEMSSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERSSECONDARY TEACHERSSERVICE TRAININGSOCIAL SCIENCESOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCHSTUDENT ACHIEVEMENTSTUDENT ASSESSMENTSTUDENT ASSESSMENT METHODSSTUDENT ASSESSMENTSSTUDENT DATASTUDENT GROUPSSTUDENT LEARNINGSTUDENT OUTCOMESSTUDENT PERFORMANCESTUDENT POPULATIONSSTUDENT TRANSFERSSUBJECT MATTERSUBJECTSSUPPLY OF TEACHERSTEACHERTEACHER APPRAISALTEACHER CANDIDATESTEACHER DEPLOYMENTTEACHER EDUCATIONTEACHER EVALUATIONSTEACHER EXPECTATIONSTEACHER INCENTIVESTEACHER MANAGEMENTTEACHER PERFORMANCETEACHER PREPARATIONTEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTTEACHER QUALIFICATIONSTEACHER QUALITYTEACHER SHORTAGESTEACHER TEACHERTEACHER TRAININGTEACHER TRAINING INSTITUTIONSTEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMSTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING EXPERIENCETEACHING METHODSTEACHING PRACTICETEACHING SKILLSTRAINING PROGRAMSYOUTH10.1596/17667
