This is a story of a varied group of individuals, from educators to advocates, funders to agency leaders, coming together to create a sustainable partnership that consistently provides equitable opportunities for ...
In this report from the 2022 International Summit on the Teaching Profession, NCEE summarizes the latest thinking from high-performing education systems about how schools can responsibly harness new technologies, build more inclusive communities, and help to secure a sustainable future.
Geoff Masters, CEO of the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER), writes about how five jurisdictions that have performed unusually well on the OECD’s PISA assessment organize their school systems now and how these jurisdictions are aiming to transform their systems to better meet the changing economic and social context.
A new “gold standard” research study shows that NCEE’s NISL program for school leaders along with aligned coaching leads to measurable improvement in student learning. The study — just published in the journal Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis — meets the strong evidence criteria necessary for Tier One classification under ESSA and will ...
In this Global Ed Talk, NCEE CEO Anthony Mackay speaks with Bob Schwartz, professor at Harvard University and co-founder of the Pathways to Prosperity network, about what America needs to do to update its CTE system to match leading countries around the world.
Top-performing education systems have long understood the value of providing teachers with time in their schedules outside of teaching: time to prepare lessons, observe and collaborate with their peers, conduct research to improve their practice, and build relationships with students and families. The chart above compares a U.S. high school teacher’s schedule with ...
By Nathan Driskell A new report from the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) finds that professions that require similar education and credentials as teaching pay about 40 percent more, on average, than teaching. In other words, teachers only make 70 percent as much as similarly educated professionals. This finding suggests that the ...
By Jennifer Craw This month we look at high-performing education systems which are also notable for their high performance for all students. In 2015, nearly half of all socio-economically disadvantaged students in Singapore and Japan performed at the highest levels on the science portion of the PISA exam. Find out more about how ...
On March 14-15 this year, education ministers, master teachers, national union leaders, and education organization leaders from countries with high performing and rapidly improving educational systems met in Helsinki for the ninth annual International Summit on the Teaching Profession.

Some of the best early childhood education systems in the world have clear pathways for career development for early childhood educators.
By Monica Pfister While the top performers vary in the approaches that have led to their high performance to-date, they share a common commitment to continuous improvement. This includes a willingness to re-examine and revise existing practices, even those central to the structure of their current education system, with an eye toward creating ...
By Jennifer Craw Estonia has an exceptionally low rate of students who perform poorly on all three subjects tested by PISA (mathematics, reading and science). In fact, with only 4.7 percent of students performing below Level 2 on all three subjects, Estonia has the lowest rate of low-performers of any European country, well ...
By Jennifer Craw This month we look at high-performing education systems which are also notable for their support of all students. Hong Kong has worked to significantly reduce the impact of poverty and social background on student success. In Hong Kong, social background—which includes things like relative income, parents’ education levels and parents’ occupations—explains ...

By Bob Rothman Building systems that can produce levels of achievement found in top-performing countries will require policy changes at the state and federal levels. But there is much districts can do—even in states where the policy environment is constricting—to create high-performing systems. That was the message that Marc Tucker, the founding president ...
