The Problem: How do we raise

The Research

‘There is a large body of research on how
important teachers are to the academic outcomes
of their pupils.
The research finds that teachers are the most important factor within
schools that policymakers can directly
affect to improve student
achievement.’
See Rivkin, Hanushek and Kain 2005, Rockoff 2004

‘Teachers previously identified as more effective caused students to learn more.
Groups of teachers who had been identified as less effective caused students to learn less.’
