International Contrasts in the Teaching Profession: Results from the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS)

On February 25, 2015, the American Institutes for Research (AIR) hosted a webinar that looked at international contrasts in the teaching profession using recent data from the OECD’s Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS). TALIS represents the voice of teachers, a critical component to a meaningful conversation about education.

RISE Webinar International Contrasts in the Teaching Profession Results from TALIS-20150225 1506-1 from American Institutes for Research on Vimeo.

Some key issues discussed included:

  • Most U.S. teachers are satisfied with their jobs but do not feel their profession is valued by society. Do teachers in other countries generally feel this way?
  • U.S. teachers spend more time on teaching than teachers in any other country. What does this tell us?
  • U.S. teachers are engaged in multiple types of professional learning. How does this compare with other countries?

TALIS is a large-scale international survey that focuses on the working conditions of lower secondary teachers and the learning environment in schools. In 2013, 34 countries and economies participated in TALIS, including the United States.
