These topics are concerned with demonstrating that teachers are a critical factor in the success of any educational practice, and with illustrating the role and integration of research findings in educational practice. Chapters include the following: (a) "Schools, Teachers, and the Effects of Education;" (b) "Schools and the Critics;" (c) "Problems in Previous Research on Teachers and Schools;" (d) "Teachers Can Make a Difference;" (e) "Goals for Education;" (f) "Accountability;" (g) "Criterion-Referenced Testing;" (h) "Individualization and Open Education;" (I) "Measuring Noncognitive Variables;" and (j) "Toward Effectiveness."
