The Best Teachers in the World: Why We Don't Have Them and How We Could

By John E. Chubb

Book Overview

John Chubb shows how we can raise student achievement to levels comparable to those of the best nations in the world through a radically new strategy for raising teacher quality. He asserts that much higher caliber individuals in teaching must be attracted and retained. This can be accomplished, he argues, by reducing the size and increasing the compensation of the teaching force via technology; abolishing licensing; training teachers in institutions and programs that have demonstrated their efficacy in producing effective educators; and improving the quality of school leadership, on which teaching quality heavily depends.
