5 5 How teachers are recruited into the profession and educated Great systems attract great teachers Last year Finland had over 6000 applicants for 600 jobs. Great systems prioritize the quality of teachers over the size of classes. Salaries matter but career prospects, career diversity and giving teachers responsibility as professionals and leaders of reform are equally important.

9 13 How teachers are recruited into the profession and educated The status of teaching is not a static attribute of culture but has, in some countries, changed significantly. Top-down initiatives alone were often insufficient to achieve deep and lasting changes (You can mandate compliance but you need to unleash excellence).

10 New York, March 2011 System s accountability arrangements 16 School autonomy, accountability and student performance Impact of school autonomy on performance in systems with and without PISA score in reading 500 accountability arrangements Systems with more accountability Systems with less accountability School autonomy in resource allocation Schools with more autonomy Schools with less autonomy

11 17 Interesting practices to bring in a wider background of teachers Opening the teaching profession to individuals with relevant experience outside education not just in vocational programs. Recognizing the skills and experience gained outside education and reflecting those in starting salaries. Enabling appropriately qualified entrants, including mature student teacher trainees to start working and earning a salary before acquiring teacher education qualifications. Offering more flexible approaches to teacher education that provide opportunities for part-time study and distance learning, and that give credits for relevant qualifications and experience.

13 19 How teachers are developed in service and supported No matter how good the pre-service education for teachers is it cannot prepare teachers for rapidly changing challenges throughout their careers High-performing systems rely on ongoing professional to update individuals knowledge of a subject in light of recent advances update skills and approaches in light of new teaching techniques, new circumstances, and new research enable teachers to apply changes made to curricula or teaching practice enable schools to develop and apply new strategies concerning the curriculum and teaching practice exchange information and expertise among teachers and others help weaker teachers become more effective. Effective professional development is on-going includes training, practice and feedback, and adequate time and follow-up support

19 28 Employment conditions The predominant employment model remains career-based but some countries have introduced position-based systems many countries have probationary periods and an increasing number require periodic renewal of licenses. Limited but increasing career diversity both horizontally and vertically. Some efforts to improve mobility between schools and with other occupations. Countries struggle with transparency in teacher labour market but some have all vacancies posted, and provide websites where the information is centralized or establish a network of agencies to co-ordinate and foster recruitment activities. Schools have become more involved in personnel management.

23 32 How teachers are evaluated and compensated Criteria used to evaluate teachers include teacher qualifications, including teacher credentials, years of service, degrees, certifications and relevant professional development how teachers operate in the classroom setting, including attitudes, expectations and personal characteristics, as well as strategies, methods and actions employed in their interaction with students; and measures of teacher effectiveness, based on assessment of how teachers contribute to students learning outcomes as well as their knowledge of their field and pedagogical practice In most countries, teachers value appraisal and feedback highly and report that it improves their job satisfaction and personal development, widens their repertoire of pedagogical practices and improves their effectiveness. In many countries, appraisal and feedback have limited impact on public recognition, professional development, careers and pay.
