Teacher Quality, Quality Teaching, and Student Outcomes: Measuring the Relationships (Hill)
Many assume that better-quality teachers will lead to improvements in the quality of teaching and,thus, student outcomes. Over the past decade, a program has been developed of research around measuring key components of mathematical teacher quality and the mathematical quality of teaching. This session describes the efforts to develop these measures.
