Printer-friendly version

During this presentation participants will have the opportunity to discuss what evidence identifies a highly effective teacher and learn about other requirements for earning the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence (ABCTE) Master Teacher certification. We will describe a recent pilot study conducted with teachers in Florida, Ohio, and Louisiana to examine the four components of the Master Teacher certification. Participants will learn which measurable characteristics of teacher practice correlate with improving student achievement.

Presenters:
