Summary: | Research suggests 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.
However, it is not yet clear exactly which teacher policies
can raise teacher effectiveness thus, devising effective
policies to improve teaching quality remains a challenge. A
new tool, Systems Approach for Better Education Results
(SABER)-teachers, fills this gap by collecting, analyzing,
synthesizing, and disseminating comprehensive information on
teacher policies in primary and secondary education across a
range of different education systems. In this report, we
discuss the findings from the application of SABER-teachers
in Serbia. The goal is to enable policymakers to learn about
how other countries address the same policy challenges
related to teacher management and thus how to make
well-informed policy choices that will lead to improved
learning outcomes. |
