"Lessons from Abroad: Teaching Policy To Improve Student Learning" Lynn Olson, Education Week February 14, 2007 "This is a special report commissioned by the Aspen Institute and appearing as an insert in the February 14th issue of Education Week, looks at how eight other nations are working to strengthen teaching and identifies approaches relevant to the United States. The report includes descriptions of robust programs to attract and support new teachers in Switzerland and Japan; systematic support for established teachers to improve their teaching in Ontario Canada and Japan; and new approaches to career progression and pay for expert teachers in Singapore, England, and Sweden."
