This view, backed by policy and investment, leads to the recruitment of top candidates into teaching and high retention of teachers and leaders in schools, both of which are critical for educational excellence.  \nLooking at the strategic staffing practices of leading education systems across the globe can expand our lens on what is possible and inform and inspire discussions about strategies that might strengthen U. S. schools and systems.  \nThis brief is organized around five topics:  \n? Thinking differently about attracting and retaining teachers. What paths to advancement support teaching as a long life career? How do leading systems retain their teachers? How do good teachers become good leaders? What is the role of teacher compensation?  \n? Thinking differently about developing a strong pipeline for the profession. How do leading systems select and prepare teacher candidates for the classrooms of today and tomorrow and then transition them into classrooms?  \n? Thinking differently about professionalizing teaching. What role does a powerful professional community play in schools? How do you build a successful professional community for teachers?  \n? Thinking differently about enabling teacher success. How does the balanced use of teacher time enable teaching success? What role does access to high quality instructional resources play? How do systems make teaching easier?  \n? Thinking differently about resource optimization. How do sources of resources vary? How do systems use available resources strategically and efficiently?  \n~~  ~~Thinking~~ ~~Differently~~ ~~About~~ ~~Strategic~~ ~~Staffing~~  ~~  \nIn each area, we:  \nSurface thought-provoking observations about ways these systems approach strategic staffing differently.  \nOffer interesting examples of what global leaders do differently and how states and districts are implementing similar strategies.  \nAsk probing questions about the potential for thinking differently about strategic staffing and what the policy implications might be.  \nLet’s think differently! Together.  \nOur Thinking Differently About series is focused on exploring how schools are organized in education systems with strong student outcomes. This brief explores the ways global leaders staff strategically and identifies states and districts in the United States that use similar strategies.  \n2 ~~  ~~Thinking~~ ~~Differently~~ ~~About~~ ~~Strategic~~ ~~Staffing~~  ~~  \nTHINKING DIFFERENTLY ABOUT  \nAttracting &  \nRetaining Teachers  \nIn top-performing systems, education is an attractive career with longlife opportunity for professional growth and high levels of teacher and leader retention. Systems treat teachers as professionals, and they offer clear career progressions that include opportunities for leadership and specialization including some leadership roles that let them stay connected to the classroom. Professional status is reinforced by competitive salaries comparable to other professions.  \nTeaching is a sought-after career  \nTeachers are highly respected.  \nIn many leading systems, teaching has historically been seen as critical in building new nations and economies. In Estonia, teachers were seen as key in preserving the national language and identity as the nation was occupied by foreign powers. In China, Confucianism placed great importance on education and saw teachers as moral guides and transmitters of knowledge; in the modern era, education is seen as the key path to individual and national success.  \nTeaching is fiscally attractive.  \nIn the United States, teacher salaries often lag behind an estimated 70 percent of other professions. Teaching in leading systems, on the other hand, is generally well-compensated, with salaries that are comparable or close to th","cbCaijoiLKIwCyrp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijoiLKIwCyrp","pdf",3380978,28,"English","# Introduction\n# Attracting & Retaining Teachers\n# Developing a Strong Pipeline for the Profession\n# Professionalizing Teaching\n# Enabling Teacher Success\n# Resource Optimization","[{\"question\":\"What is the core focus of the brief on strategic staffing?\",\"answer\":\"The brief explores how high-performing education systems staff strategically, highlighting practices that help attract, retain, develop, and support teachers while informing discussions for U.S. schools.\"},{\"question\":\"How do leading systems make teaching an attractive career?\",\"answer\":\"They reinforce teaching as a respected profession with clear career progressions and leadership or specialization pathways, supported by competitive salaries comparable to other professions.\"},{\"question\":\"What career progression approach helps keep strong teachers connected to classrooms?\",\"answer\":\"Distributed leadership and teacher leader roles that allow experienced teachers to continue teaching help keep effective teachers in classrooms while taking on leadership responsibilities.\"}]","THINKING DIFFERENTLY ABOUT STRATEGIC STAFFING - Introduction - Attracting & Retaining Teachers | PDF",1792057021,71]
