Teacher Quality
By Williamson M. Evers and Lance T. Izumi

In this book some of the brightest minds in education research have studies pressing questions about teacher quality and practices, reviewed thousands of education studies, examined state test scores, explored education theories, and then affirmed that we know what works. We must now ensure that the system provides the best possible education for kids.
