Teaching Quality Matters
Printer-friendly versionWe have more evidence than ever before that it is teachers who are the primary factor in closing the achievement gap. We also know that it is low-income and/or minority students who are least likely to be ensured access to high-quality teachers. In places where teachers are producing gains with students, we know little about their instructional practices and how they go about achieving results. But we are working on it! In this session, learn more about the data on teacher quality, as well as Ed Trust’s current work on student access to high-quality teachers and our study of the instructional practices of effective teachers.
