Effective Teaching
S “Teacher Quality has been consistently identified
as the most important school-based factor in
student achievement (McCaffrey, Lockwood, Koretz, &
Hamilton, 2003; Rivkin, Hanushek, & Kain, 2000; Rowan, Correnti &
Miller, 2002; Wright, Horn, & Sanders, 1997), and
teacher effects
on student learning have baeen found to be
cumulative and long-lasting” (Kain, 1998; McCaffrey et al.,
2003; Mendro, Jordan, Gomez, anderson, & Bembry, 1998; Rivers, 1999; Sanders
& Rivers, 1996).
