Please join the Alliance for Excellent Education for a webinar on the results of the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). American teachers participated for the first time in the 2013 round of TALIS, which focuses on teachers' professional context and the conditions of the learning environment in which they teach. TALIS captures the perspectives of practitioners on key topics, including the degree to which teachers' professional development needs are being met, insights into the beliefs and attitudes about teaching that teachers bring to the classroom, and the role that school leaders play in fostering an effective teaching and learning environment.

Andreas Schleicher will share the 2013 TALIS findings.Stephanie Hirsh will discuss the implications for improving teaching effectiveness in the United States and the efforts under way to create powerful professional learning systems. Bob Wise, president of the Alliance and former governor of West Virginia, will moderate the discussion. Panelists will also address questions submitted by viewers from across the nation.
