On Wednesday 19th June 2019 the Education Policy Institute is hosting the launch of the OECD’s Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS).
TALIS is based on data from teachers and headteachers from lower secondary in 48 participating countries. The survey, which was the first internationally comparable perspective on the conditions of teaching and learning, is undertaken every five years and now on its third cycle. The results of the 2018 cycle provide international trend indicators and timely analysis on themes including: school leadership; teachers’ professional practices; teacher education; feedback; development; diversity; school climate; and job satisfaction.
OECD Director of Education, Andreas Schleicher, will present the results from all 48 countries, highlighting the UK’s findings.
A panel discussion will follow the presentation, and Andreas Schleicher will be joined by Michael Davidson (Head of Research at United Learning and former Head of TALIS); Prof. Daniel Muijs (Head of Research at Ofsted and part of the TALIS 2018 Questionnaire Expert Group); Heather McNaughton (Director of Teaching Workforce, Department for Education); and Lucy Kellaway (Co-founder of Now Teach and Teacher at Mossbourne Community Academy), to discuss the significance of these findings for the UK.
The panel will be chaired by EPI Director of School Workforce, James Zuccollo and we will also hear from EPI Executive Director, Natalie Perera.
Twitter users can follow the launch through the hashtag #OECDTALIS.
