The pending agenda. Supporting effective practice : the pending agenda / by Tracey Burns and Vanessa Shadoian-Gersing N2 - This publication summarizes key research findings which can be used to redesign initial and continuing teacher education to help practitioners effectively teach diverse students. It looks at challenges teachers face in OECD countries and presents a range of policies and practices used in various contexts, from countries with long histories of diversity to those with more recent experiences. The key role of evaluation - of teachers, schools and systems - is emphasized. The publication asks how these insights can inspire continuing educational reform for our changing classrooms, with a special focus on key questions for research, policy and practice.--Publisher's description ER -
