TEACHER WORKING CONDITIONS AS CATALYSTS FOR STUDENT LEARNING
Successful democracies and economies demand that all students acquire analytical thinking, adept communication, and complex problem-solving skills.

Recent research shows that the design, leadership, and culture of schools are important, yet often overlooked, elements to improving teaching and learning. Even highly qualified teachers must also have the resources and support necessary to serve all students well, write Scott Emerick, Eric Hirsch and Barnett Berry. Without comprehensive and sustained efforts to improve teacher working conditions, many promising school reform efforts will likely fail.
