teacher quality
Educator effectiveness measure
Teacher quality refers to the effectiveness of a teacher in promoting student learning and development.
It encompasses subject knowledge, instructional skill, classroom management, and the ability to engage and motivate students.
Measuring teacher quality is notoriously difficult, with debates over whether to emphasize credentials, student test scores, or classroom observations.
Research consistently shows that teacher quality matters more than class size or spending.
