Not land or sea. Facing similiar economic challenges as everyone else. Dependent upon export. Relatively homogeneous. Increasing immigration raising their heads to social issues. Finland is a happy place with angry birds.

 * Why should we assess teachers?**
 * Teaching is so hard, it is never perfect.
 * Some believe - for practice
 * Some believe - for results
 * Culture for Learning - is learning a priority in school or classroom? How do you know the culturedoor learning has been established in that classroom?
 * Domains not separate - entwined. Activity for faculty - ask: if a teacher is good at questioning & discussion, what other domains mightthey be good at? How do you know?
 * Tighter rubric language, critical attributes for each level of performance & examples,

**First hour, first presenter, excellent; now colleague is speaking and she's definitely not modeling an engaging Web 2.0 presentation. My neighbor is yawning, and I'm not far behind.**  Singapore-equals future ready with lots of forward planning.

Australia- focusing on resiliency. Policy and research are cornerstones. Much work smarter with resources due to Large demographics.

Finland- Pasi wrote a book about the system and journey of finlands education system. We have learned so much from the USA. We have always been able and willing to learn. Dewey's ideas are real and alive in Finland. Quality and equity are combined along with Canada and South Korea. In Finland it is a human right. Teachers are compared to doctors and lawyers. Only 1 out of 10 are accepted to education schools. Change is our problem due to being on the world center stage. Where do we find the energy and reason for the next step.

Philippines- out of 100 students 55 go beyond 6 th grade and 8 percent on to college.

USA- Peaks of Excellence to take from the USA. Other countries come to learn how to do education. We do peaks beautifully. We are average on the international landscape. Fundamental issues are overall quality and equity. We have many system not just one. The USA has benchmarked but dive deeper into teaching and learning. Teaching and Learning Summit - Deliberate and intentional strategies and implementation.

Teacher and Leader Quality- How have created a teacher population that is revered.

All important aspects but we miss what actual work are teachers doing. Is it high and professional. Opportunity to to plan and evaluate programming. Make teaching less about interruptions and more about learning. If working conditions are not aligned then you will not have change. External evaluations or inspectors would make me leave education. True professional,

USA does not reflect the international summits work on teacher professionalism. RESPECT- lessons incorporated include high graduate recruitment, ladders, compensation, more clinical experience. Korea indicates their teachers as nation builders.

Betsy- the values question is essential to Singapore. Top 30 percent of college class a must to be an educator. Once recruited paying begins equivalent to another vocations salary. NIES 1 year post graduate focused on values. Singapore has performance bonuses internally through learning communities. Planning and learning community time embedded and they use the lesson study process. Teachers see a career ladders in the system. Admin, curr, master teachers. Very young generation and very ambitious.

Australian - shift is to raise the status through top graduate and the entry score has been raised. The quality of teacher and principal is now published via standards. Monitoring and support against the standards is significant. Politics and research are beginning to work together.

Teacher training and the system ....we are interested with how the turn around process is used in shanghai. OESCD shanghai is larger than all of austrailia.

We are spending 40 x more on professional development that all our resources and attention are taken away from the core values or purpose.

Singapore separates special education students for academic core.
