Purpose

The Effective Teachers and Effective Teaching (Effective Teachers) topic supports research on effective strategies for improving the performance of classroom teachers in ways that increase student learning and school achievement in reading, writing, mathematics and the sciences for students from kindergarten through high school. The long term outcome of this research will be an array of programs (e.g., professional development programs), assessments, and strategies (e.g., recruitment and retention policies) that have been demonstrated to be effective for improving and assessing teacher quality in ways that are linked to increases in student achievement.
