This is the second in a sequence of four mini-courses, releasing on October 27th, 2014. This mini-course looks in-depth at modern-day issues surrounding teacher policies in U.S. education.
The teacher is the most important person in our schools. How do we recruit and retain the very best teachers? What are our current methods for recruiting teachers? How well do we compensate them? What are the effects of adjusting teacher salaries to be based on their performance in the classroom? When should teachers be given tenure? Do current policies encourage or discourage effective teachers from entering the profession?
Many questions come down to budgetary constraints. Should you hire more teachers so you have smaller classes? Should it be a priority to balance how much is spent between wealthy and poor districts?
Throughout this mini-course, we will be focused on using empirical evidence to answer these questions.
This mini-course contains six lectures, with most lectures divided into three videos. The mini-courses also include assigned readings, discussion forums, and assessments.
This is the second mini-course in a four-course sequence. Mini-Course I: History and Politics of U.S. Education can be found here. Mini-Course III: Accountability and National Standards can be found here. Mini-Course IV: School Choice can be found here.

This is the fourth in a sequence of four mini-courses, releasing on February 9th, 2015. This mini-course focuses on alternatives to public schools in the United States.
There has been a rapid expansion of school choice in U.S. education. Charter schools now serve over five percent of the public school population, voucher programs have been introduced in many states, and digital education has captured the attention of educators across the country. What is the theoretical basis for these innovations? How effective are the early initiatives? How do parents decide what is best for their children? And how do all of these options affect the students who remain in traditional public schools?
With the help of several scholars and participants in these new ventures, we will discuss the ways in which these school choice initiatives are re-shaping U. S. education.
The mini-course contains five lectures, with most lectures divided into three videos. The mini-courses also include assigned readings, discussion forums, and assessments.
