The Best Teachers in the World by John E Chubb
John Chubb shows how we can raise student achievement to levels comparable to those of the best nations in the world through a radically new strategy for raising teacher quality. He asserts that much higher caliber individuals in teaching must be attracted and retained. This can be accomplished, he argues, by reducing the size and increasing the compensation of the teaching force via technology; abolishing licensing; training teachers in institutions and programs that have demonstrated their efficacy in producing effective educators; and improving the quality of school leadership, on which teaching quality heavily depends.
John E. Chubb is a distinguished visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution and a member of Hoover's Koret Task Force on K-12 Education, is interim CEO of Education Sector, a nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization based in Washington, DC. Benno C. Schmidt, Jr. is the chairman of Avenues, the World School, in New York City, and of the Board of Trustees of the City University of New York (CUNY). He is a former chief executive officer of Edison Schools, a former president of Yale University, and a former dean of the Columbia University Law School.
