World Development Report 2018• Title: Realizing the Promise of Education for Development• First WDR devoted to education• Strong statement about centrality of education to the SDGs• Themes
• Promise of education• Progress and pitfalls in realizing the promise• Evidence on how to improve (impact evaluations; ECD, ICT, etc.)• Scaling up to systemic change
What could this mean for financing teaching?• Evidence-based teacher policy
• Evidence on shortcomings and needs• Clearly defined causal chains based on evidence• Rigorous evaluation of impacts• Triangulation of information sources • Constant learning and improvement
• Systemic improvement• Beyond effective programs to change at scale• Understanding of interplay among factors• Strengthen teaching, not just teachers
Crucial to keep these ideas in mind• There will be many discussions of financing sources and amounts
• International• Domestic
• But financing needs solid direction to be effective• Key: orient these international and domestic discussions toward
long-term goals • Alternative?

How to apply the WDR principles to financing teachers?
3 examples
Goal 2Evidence-based
• Evidence on intake and turnover: what is margin for improvement?
• Evidence on competing careers: what other options are there?
• Causal chain: how long will improvement take & at what cost?
Systemic• At scale: e.g., can we go beyond
alternative programs?• Interplay: e.g., are new teachers
supported?
2. Attracting the best into
teaching
Goal 7
Evidence-based• Evidence on weaknesses: where do
teachers need & want help?• Causal chain: is PD targeted at
known weaknesses?• Triangulation: do teachers find PD
useful in the classroom?• Impacts: does the PD actually affect
teaching and learning? Systemic
• At scale: are successful programs replicable at scale affordably?
• Interplay: do teachers have incentives to apply what they learn?
7. Supporting teachers to
improve instruction
Goal 8Evidence-based
• Performance: is low motivation affecting quality of teaching?
• Impacts: how do incentives (defined broadly) affect how teachers feel and act?
• Cost: what is the most cost-effective approach (e.g., across-the-board vs. targeted pay increases)?
Systemic• At scale: can we motivate teachers
everywhere (e.g., remote areas too)?• Interplay: do motivated teachers have
the skills & tools they need?

How do we ensure the financing adds up to achieving the SDGs?
Screen all policies and programs by whether they:• Are evidence-based• Can contribute to
systemic improvements
