Summary:

In schools across the country, educators are experimenting with new models for recruiting, training, and supporting teachers. They are using strategies like differentiated roles and the use of technology to deploy teachers' talents to best effect. However, most of the policy measures currently under consideration to ensure teacher quality are designed with a one-size-fits-all approach that threatens to constrain these cutting-edge efforts. Frederick M. Hess and Michael Q. McShane, the editors of Teacher Quality 2.0, have convened a diverse array of contributors to examine promising innovations in teacher preparation, compensation, and evaluation. Together, they investigate whether current efforts to improve the quality of our nation's teachers will be able to keep up with these innovations-or, worse, will hold them back. Book jacket.
