An Inter-Country Conceptual Comparison of Teaching Quality Indicators

Anviti Rawat*

Quality indicators are statistics and information put into useable form. In education they are utilized to discern the health of education and help it improve, particularly in the realm of teacher hiring and retention. Whereas test-based assessments have often been used to determine a teacher’s effectiveness, particularly under U.S. initiatives such as No Child Left Behind, other countries have found personal qualities of teachers to be informative in this area. It would seem that the United States might want to consider a shift to such indicators, given the education gap that exists between American students and students from other countries today
