Teacher quality is the most important school-related factor in raising student achievement, which means recruiting and retaining outstanding teachers should be a top priority for every school district. But that may be easier said than done. Join two members of NSBA's Advocacy office Sunday from 3:45 p.m. - 5 p.m. in the convention center's W311G for an interactive session, "Because Teachers Matter: Effective Strategies for Strengthening Teacher Quality."

We'll take a look at why this issue continues to gain prominence in policy circles, the impact of federal legislation, and key lessons learned from district and state experiments, followed by a discussion among board members of their own district's efforts to strengthen teacher quality.
