“Improving teacher quality is a necessary—indeed, the key—ingredient for improving our nation’s schools,” the editors of Creating a New Teaching Profession conclude. But putting this advice into practice may require radical reforms in the way schools attract, retain, evaluate, and develop teachers. The scholars and practitioners in this book go beyond empirical research to offer private sector lessons and innovative reforms to jolt the teaching profession from complacency.

The book includes chapters by CRPE's Paul Hill (Chapter 7. "Consequences of Instructional Technology for Human Resource Needs in Education"), and Michael DeArmond (Chapter 4. "Zooming In and Zooming Out: Rethinking School District Human Resource Management," with Kathryn L. Shaw, and Patrick M. Wright).
