Teacher quality 2.0: Toward a new era in education reform
This Google Hangout event is online only.
Over the last decade, teacher-quality policy has taken center stage in US education debates nationwide. States and districts are rethinking how to fill classrooms with the best teachers, considering everything from teacher preparation to evaluation. Meanwhile, school leaders are rethinking teacher roles and school organization, which could lead to innovations that do not fit the current education policy agenda.
Please join AEI for a conversation among several contributors to the new volume “Teacher Quality 2.0: Toward a New Era in Education Reform” (Harvard Education Press, 2014), edited by Frederick M. Hess and Michael Q. McShane. Panelists will discuss the intersection of teacher-quality policy and innovation, exploring roadblocks and possibilities.
