Teacher Quality in At-Risk Schools
2007
Nothing will go as far toward improving the educational attainment of all children—and especially those in the most troubled schools—as ensuring that there is a qualified teacher in every classroom. To help remedy the widespread problem of inexperienced and poorly qualified teachers in at-risk schools, the National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality examined 10 key issues often associated with getting and keeping quality teachers in the schools that most need them.
This publication focuses on four of those issues: performance-based pay; building the capacity of school leaders to support teachers; induction, mentoring, and support of new teachers; and teacher preparation to teach in at-risk schools. It also provides several strategies that—when implemented effectively—can have a positive and lasting impact toward ensuring highly qualified teachers in at-risk schools.
