2009 ECS National Forum on Education Policy
Session 233 -- The People Side of Reform: State Strategies for Enhancing Teacher Effectiveness
(Presentation by Allan Odden, Co-Director of Strategic Management of Human Capital (SMHC); Professor, Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis, and Co-Director, CPRE, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Wisconsin)
Strategic Management of Human Capital (SMHC) includes two basic strategies: 1) Recruiting and retaining top teacher, principal and central office talent, which are key to implement the powerful education improvement strategies needed for big, urban districts and 2) managing that talent around the most effective instructional practice --instruction that can produce large student learning gains. Hear about what's been learned from urban district case studies and how these lessons will form the basis of five action initiatives to be launched in 2009.
