Teachers

The Center’s work is based on two premises: that public schools should be measured against the goal of educating all children well, and that current institutions too often fail to achieve this goal. Our research uses evidence from the field and lessons learned from other sectors to understand complicated problems and to design innovative and practical solutions for policymakers, elected officials, parents, educators, and community leaders.

The Center examines a range of reform issues related to teachers, including teacher quality, effectiveness, compensation, selection, and turnover. See the projects listed below for a more in-depth look at the Center's current work in this area:

Teachers, Teacher Quality, and Human Capital Project

The Teachers, Teacher Quality, and Human Capital Project focuses on a broad array of human capital policies that influence the composition, distribution, and quality of teachers in the workforce.
