Senior Analyst, Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS)
Results from the most recent round of Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) are to be released at the end of this month in Japan where education ministers will gather to exchange views on how to best shape teacher policy so as to have the strongest impact on the quality of the learning environment.
Why should teachers care?
Well, teachers are at the heart of TALIS. Along with the release of the in-depth international report which provides analyses of cross-country data on the 25th of June, a free Teachers’ Guide to TALIS will be available on our website. This handbook will present the main results with insights and advice to teachers and school leaders on how they can improve teaching and learning in their schools.
