| Summary Note |
"'Empowered educators' is the first volume in a series by celebrated educator Linda Darling-Hammond and a team of distinguished scholars. Across four continents and five countries, they examines seven jurisdictions developed comprehensive teaching policy systems: Singapore, Finland, the states of New South Wales and Victoria in Australia, the provinces of Alberta and Ontario in Canada, and the province of Shanghai in China. The book describes how these countries have carefully developed, planned, and implemented teaching and learning systems, as well as detailing the lessons that may be learned from these diverse systems. These countries have demonstrated considerable success on international indicators of educational quality that emphasize the kinds of higher-order skills needed in contemporary society. 'Empowered educators' describes how this seemingly magical work is done. The authors show how seven international educational systems create a coherent set of policies designed to ensure quality teaching in all communities - and how the results of these policies are brought to life in the classroom." - Back cover. |
