Summary: | Achieving the right teacher policies to
ensure that every classroom has a motivated, supported, and
competent teacher remains a challenge, because evidence on
the impacts of many teacher policies remains insufficient
and scattered. Systems approach for better education results
(SABER) - teachers, aims to help fill this gap by
collecting, analyzing, synthesizing, and disseminating
comprehensive information on teacher policies in primary and
secondary education systems around the world. SABER -
teachers' collects data on ten core teacher policy
areas to offer a comprehensive descriptive overview of the
teacher policies that are in place in each participating
education system. SABER - teachers analyzes the teacher
policy data collected to assess each education system's
progress in achieving eight teacher policy goals: (1)
setting clear expectations for teachers; (2) attracting the
best into teaching; (3) preparing teachers with useful
training and experience; (4) matching teachers' skills
with students' needs; (5) leading teachers with strong
principals; (6) monitoring teaching and learning; (7)
supporting teachers to improve instruction; and (8)
motivating teachers to perform. By classifying countries
according to their performance on each of the eight teacher
policy goals, SABER - teachers can help diagnose the key
challenges that countries face in ensuring they have
effective teachers. The main focus of SABER - teachers is on
policy design, rather than on policy implementation. It
describes Benin's performance in each of the eight
teacher policy goals, alongside comparative information from
education systems that have consistently scored high results
in international student achievement tests and have
participated in SABER - teachers. |
