The Best Teachers in the World: Why We Don't Have Them and How We Could

More about the book

Focusing on the critical role of teacher quality in student achievement, the book argues that the U.S. must adopt bold reforms to attract and retain top educators. It proposes a three-pronged strategy: leveraging technology to enhance teacher productivity, training teachers through effective programs rather than traditional education schools, and empowering school principals to take charge of hiring and development. Supported by evidence of current shortcomings, the author emphasizes the urgent need for change to achieve global educational excellence.
