EDUISTP13

The theme of the third annual International Summit on the Teaching Profession, to be held in Amsterdam on 13-14 March 2013, focuses on teacher evaluation and professional standards. During the Summit, delegates will have discussions guided by the following questions:

• How is teacher quality defined by policy makers, the teaching profession and society? What standards are set and by whom?
• How is teacher quality evaluated? What systems are in place and how are the evaluations carried out?
• How do evaluations contribute to school improvement and teacher self-efficacy? What impact can be expected on teaching and learning from teacher evaluation?
