The Development and Distribution of Highly Effective Teachers and Leaders

The recent transition in federal administration presents new goals and opportunities for teacher quality. This conference is a must for federal and state policymakers, regional comprehensive centers, and practitioners who want to learn about the latest research on and strategies for addressing teacher effectiveness and equitable distribution so that they can make informed and strategic decisions about educator quality from a systems perspective.

Conference sessions will focus on these topics as well as school leadership, response to intervention, and the impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on states. Keynote presenter Sir Michael Barber from McKinsey & Company will discuss why teacher quality matters now more than ever.
