2012 International Summit on the Teaching Profession

March 14–15, 2012 WELCOME

March 14, 2012

Dear Participant:

Welcome to the second International Summit on the Teaching Profession. On behalf of all our host organizations, we thank you for your interest in joining education ministers, leaders of national teachers’ organizations, and teacher leaders from countries and regions with high-performing and rapidly improving education systems for an open dialogue about your successes and challenges in preparing and developing highly effective teachers and leaders.

Education is recognized around the globe as a driver of economic growth and social change, and it is high-quality teaching that enables students to acquire the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the 21st century. This year’s theme, Preparing Teachers and Developing School Leaders, was chosen based on feedback from many of last year’s participants and will build upon the dialogue that we started last year. Over the next two days, we aim to explore more deeply three specific topics: developing school leaders, preparing teachers for the delivery of 21st century skills, and preparing teachers to work and succeed where they are most needed. A background paper, prepared by the OECD, describes and highlights practices from around the world in each of these areas. Once our meeting has concluded, the Asia Society will document for the public the insights shared and lessons learned at the summit in a summary paper.

As education experts and advocates, your work underscores the vital role that teachers play in building world-class education systems and preparing students for success in the 21st century. Through the discussion at this summit, we can explore together the extent to which the effective policies, framework, and implementation of a country or region are relevant for other countries or regions. Working and learning together, each nation can improve faster than any one nation can on its own.

Yours sincerely,

Arne Duncan Angel Gurria Fred van Leeuwen U.S. Secretary Secretary General General Secretary of of Education of OECD Education International 2 2012 International Summit on the Teaching Profession
