This volume offers a systematic perspective on teacher workforce development, drawing on views that reflect local, direct, and national concerns about issues such as diversity in the workforce, recruitment and retention of teachers, effective professional development and compensation, and the effect of these workforce initiatives on teacher quality and student achievement.
