Session 11: Teacher Quality Matters

Printer-friendly version

Evidence is clear: Effective teaching is a critical factor in increasing student learning to close the achievement gap. But national and local data show us that low-income and minority students do not receive their fair share of effective teachers. What can school counselors do to address this problem? In this session, learn more about the latest data on the impact of teachers and discuss case studies that show how to ensure poor and minority students have access to high-quality teachers.

Presenters:
Candace Crawford, senior associate for Teacher Quality, The Education Trust; and
