The Core Attributes of Effective Teaching are Known and Measurable
Teaching practices that lead to high student performance can be taught,
mastered, and measured. Research has confirmed that instructional expertise can
be accurately assessed and that teachers who receive high-quality feedback can
steadily improve. The tools, content, and processes that every school leader
needs to systematically improve classroom teaching are within our reach.
Not every teacher will develop from good to great. But by embedding support
systems that integrate instructional diagnostic tools, foster feedback,
incorporate relevant examples of great teaching, and support career development,
more great teachers will be helping more children receive the education they
need and deserve.
