Incentives to Attract High-Quality Teachers to Hard-to-Staff Schools
Retaining and Investing in High-Quality Teachers: Creating the Conditions that Support Success
|
| Description: | A key goal of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards is to have Board-certified teachers playing a central role in improving the most challenging schools. This session reports on a study commissioned by the National Board that is examining the extent of Board-certified teachers' schoolwide impact in low-performing schools. The study analyzes the conditions and circumstances that allow or hinder teachers' impact beyond their own classrooms. The session also reports on a professional development model WestEd and SRI are developing in a high poverty school, using National Board certification as its core.
Inquiry Questions:
- What are the various approaches for getting more Board-certified teachers in low-performing schools?
- What contextual conditions appear to increase a Board-certified teacher's impact on a low-performing school?
- What are the implications of the results from the National Board study for state and local policy making?
