Description: This seminar is the second in a series which brings together
practitioners, researchers and policy-makers who are committed to
enhancing the development of the teaching profession. After the success
of the 2012 seminar on the Future of the Teaching Profession, the
agreement to hold a second demonstrates a shared recognition that
system-wide teacher policies are vital to the success of education in
every country. The seminars are intended to strengthen the discourse on
the future of teaching and teachers and are held prior to the
International Summits, whose focus is at a government and teacher
organization level. For this reason this year's seminar planning group
of Open Society Foundation, LfL: the Cambridge Network at the University
of Cambridge, Education International, and the Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development also included representatives from the
Dutch Ministry which is hosting the 2013 Summit.
