Standards-Based Approach
What do we want students to learn?
What should teachers know and be able to do to teach them?

On the Job Learning
Teacher Training Institions (TPI) are often part of the problem rather than the solution
Mode of delivery give emphasis to ON THE JOB LEARNING (OJL)
Teachers teaching teachers or “lesson study” has proven to improve teacher quality

Assessing Teacher Practice
Performance-based approach rather than “seat time” for student learning.
Opening new pathways to learning to teach
Locates teacher learning closer to communities and schools where teachers teach

Performance-based Assessment
Is not “sink or swim”
Requires resources and capacities
Requires differentiated roles and responsibilities for professional practice
Status difference should be reflected in levels of compensation
