By Paul Ferrari

The third Annual International Summit on the Teaching Profession, is being held in Amsterdam March 13-14, 2013.  This year the focus of the summit is on teacher evaluation and professional standards. During the Summit, delegates are having discussions guided by the following questions:

  • How is teacher quality defined by policy makers, the teaching profession and society? What standards are set and by whom?
  • How is teacher quality evaluated? What systems are in place and how are the evaluations carried out?
  • How do evaluations contribute to school improvement and teacher self-efficacy? What impact can be expected on teaching and learning from teacher evaluation?
