and their engagement with learning and school Parents, principals and system leaders provided data
on… school policies, practices, resources and institutional
factors that help explain performance differences .

Teacher in-service development
No matter how good the pre-service education for teachers is… it cannot prepare teachers for rapidly changing challenges throughout
their careers
High-performing systems rely on ongoing professional to…… update individuals’ knowledge of a subject in light of recent advances
… update skills and approaches in light of new teaching techniques, new circumstances, and new research
… enable teachers to apply changes made to curricula or teaching practice
… enable schools to develop and apply new strategies concerning the curriculum and teaching practice
… exchange information and expertise among teachers and others
… help weaker teachers become more effective . Effective professional development is on-going…
… includes training, practice and feedback, and adequate time and follow-up support
