TALIS aims to provide comparable information to help review and define policies for developing a high-quality teaching profession. This session will examine themes covered by TALIS, in particular, it will describe the profiles of teachers and their schools, school leadership and its impact and teaching, teachers’ pedagogical and professional practices, factors relating to teachers’ feelings of job satisfaction and self-efficacy and will examine the results for the United States more specifically.
