Teacher EffectivenessDr. Bill Sanders and colleagues reported the following:
“. . . the results of this study well document that the most important factor affecting student learning is the teacher...The immediate and clear implication of this finding is that seemingly more can be done to improve education by improving the effectiveness of teachers than by any other single factor.”
