| description |
This book a collection of chapters is
about one of the most pressing challenges in improving
education quality in Latin America : designing and
implementing effective incentives for enhancing teaching
practice as a means for raising student learning outcomes.
By providing well-researched evidence on diverse education
reforms affecting teacher incentives in the region, the book
makes an important contribution to the literature on teacher
incentives in general and, especially, to the education
literature in Latin America. Incentives to improve teaching
: lessons from Latin America focuses on the impact of
education reforms that alter teacher incentives on teaching
quality and student learning. The reforms explored in this
book represent efforts by several countries in the region to
increase teacher accountability and introduce incentives to
motivate teachers to raise students learning. These efforts
will be of interest to readers in governmental agencies,
nongovernmental organizations, research institutions and
universities. Finally, the authors state, that ensuring all
children have the opportunity to learn critical skills at
the primary and secondary level is paramount to overcoming
the barriers that perpetuate underdevelopment and poverty. |
