Connecting the Dots: Building a System that Improves Teacher Quality

This report summarizes the results of recent research and practice on how to improve teacher supply, distribution and evaluation systems. The overwhelming finding is that our current practices and policies provide inadequate support for high quality teaching. Most teachers are trained, selected, placed, evaluated and compensated under staffing models that were not built to ensure that teachers, especially those with the neediest students, are effective at promoting student learning. The report offers ten national imperatives to create a teacher management system that truly works for students: 1) improve the pipeline; 2) identify effectiveness; 3) screen effectively; 4) hire strategically; 5) pay for contribution; 6) support new hires; 7) develop advanced skills; 8) reconsider tenure; 9) rework retirement; and 10) leverage talent.
