Evaluating and Rewarding the Quality of Teachers: International Practices
Drawing on relevant international research, including information from experts’ presentations and papers given at the December 2008 Joint Conference between the OECD and the Government of Mexico, this book sets out good practice in the design and implementation of incentive systems for teachers. With this aim in mind, the book provides analysis and discussion of the design and implementation of incentive systems for teachers as well as guidance on what should be rewarded and how it should it be measured, who should be rewarded, how they should they be rewarded and how policies should be developed and implemented to ensure stakeholder engagement and commitment.

Foreword
Compelling incentives for individuals, economies and societies to raise levels of education have been the driving force for governments to improve the quality of educational services. The prosperity of countries now derives, to a large extent, from their human capital, and to succeed in a rapidly changing world, individuals need to advance their knowledge and skills throughout their lives. On the premise that the quality of education cannot exceed the quality of teachers, countries are devoting increasing efforts towards improving the quality of teachers and teaching.
