Do teachers spend more time on actual teaching and learning in a typical lesson compared to previous years? Do they feel prepared to teach when they start teaching? What sort of continuous professional development programmes do they participate in and how does it impact their practice? This report looks first at how teachers apply their knowledge and skills in the classroom in the form of teaching practices, with an accompanying assessment of the demographic makeup of those classrooms and the school climate to provide context on learning environments. The volume then assesses the ways in which teachers acquired their knowledge and skills during their early education and training, as well as the steps they take to develop them through continuous professional development over the course of their career. Based on the voice of teachers and school leaders, the report offers a series of policy orientations to help strengthen the knowledge and skills of the teaching workforce to support its professionalism.The OECD Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) is the largest international survey asking teachers and school leaders about their working conditions and learning environments, and provides a barometer of the profession every five years. Results from the 2018 cycle explore and examine the various dimensions of teacher and school leader professionalism across education systems.

TEACHERS AND SCHOOL LEADERS
AS LIFELONG LEARNERS
Andreas Schleicher, Washington DC, 19 June 2019
2. What is TALIS?
The largest international survey examining teaching and learning
environments in schools. Asks teachers and school leaders about
their work, their schools and their classrooms
with 48 education systems covered
TALIS options:
Some countries also surveyed
their primary and upper secondary
teachers and some conducted
TALIS in PISA schools
3 surveys to date:
2008: 24 education systems
2013: 38 education systems
2018: 48 education systems from all continents
3. TALIS-participating
countries and economies
*Note: TALIS is administered for a sub-national entity only in the following countries: Argentina
(Buenos Aires), Canada (Alberta), China (Shanghai) and the United Kingdom (England).

The quality of a school system cannot exceed the quality
of its teachers and principals…
…and the quality of teachers and principals cannot
exceed the quality of their education, their opportunities
to collaborate and develop and the quality of their
working conditions.

Thank you
Hinweis der Redaktion
We suggest keeping this slide to acknowledge all contributors to TALIS, in the Consortium, countries, the European Commission and unions.
If you can take this opportunity to thank them, this would be a nice gesture.
In light of todays’ challenges and the rapid pace of change, professionalism has shifted from a nice-to-have attribute to a must-have in the teaching profession. For this reason, the concept of professionalism of teachers and school leaders has underpinned the development of the TALIS 2018 instruments as well as the reporting of the data.
Understanding teachers and school leaders as “professionals” means having high expectations of them. It means they should not only conduct their work in an effective manner, but work to continuously improve their skills, collaborate with colleagues and parents, and think creatively about the challenges they face.
In return, communities managing education systems also have the responsibility of having open and direct dialogue with the teaching profession in order to create the framework conditions and provide the resources and support mechanisms needed to help teachers and school leaders further develop as professionals.

For the first time in 2018, TALIS asked teachers about their reasons for choosing this occupation.
Key message Point 1:
The good news – and our first takeaway - is that the vast majority of teachers across the OECD joined the profession out of altruistic motives and a sense of social purpose
Teachers joined the profession to make a difference to society and children
92% of teachers report that influencing the development of children and young people was of moderate or high importance in becoming a teacher
and 88% flag the opportunity to contribute to society
This social motivation is even stronger than the OECD average in United States…
… But also motivations related to job security, reliable income and steady career path.

This social motivation is even stronger than the OECD average in United States…
… But also motivations related to job security, reliable income and steady career path.
2 out of 3 teachers in the OECD (66.5%) also report that teaching was their first choice as a career, again highlighting their commitment to the job
Female teachers are more likely to report teaching as their first career choice (69%) than male teachers (59%)
The charts is ordered by teachers’ working hours which includes administrative tasks, keeping order in the classroom and actual teaching and learning
96% of teachers agree or strongly agree that teachers and students usually get on well with each other
Table I.3.46
Even more so in United States
And the majority of countries have seen an improvement in this area over the past decade (Israel being the exception)
Table I.3.49
… with the exception is intimidation or bullying among students which occurs daily or weekly in 14% of schools on average across the OECD
This is even more true for the US , with faces particular issues related to bullying and harmful use of new technologies.
Key message Point 2:
But the new TALIS results reveal a worrying trend with growing classroom time lost to discipline and administrative tasks, meaning teachers spend less time on the core of their work: teaching and supporting student learning
On average in the OECD, students spend an average of 913 hours per year in class.
For each hour, on average 78% is spent on actual teaching and learning, with the remaining time spent on keeping order (13%) and administrative tasks (8%).
More than 20% of classroom time is not spent on teaching and learning.
Novice teachers are generally less likely than their more experienced peers to feel confident in their teaching skills, especially in their ability to manage their classroom. On average across the OECD, 78% of novice teachers feel that they can control disruptive behaviour in the classroom, compared to 87% for experienced teachers
Figure I.2.8
Table I.2.20
Novice teachers are also more likely to report that they would like to change to another school if that were possible, at 22% compared to 19% for more experienced teachers
Table I.4.33
Half of the teachers on average across the OECD participated in professional development that covered student behaviour and classroom management over the past 12 months.
Figure I.5.9
Table I.5.18
The proportion is even higher for novice teachers – at 55%. This is the topic where there is most differences between novice and more experienced teachers.
Figure I.5.9
Table I.5.18
This is unfortunate as teachers with some classroom management training in their formal education tend to feel more efficient in their capabilities in this area
Figure I.4.6
Table I.4.17
Key message Point 3:
This problem is more acute
For teachers working in more challenging schools,
For younger teachers,
And for those who are less experienced
This calls for a rethink of teacher allocation policies, and support and training mechanisms available for new teachers and those already in the job
So let’s take a closer look at the new TALIS data and what they tell us to better understand these findings…

This calls for a rethink of teacher allocation policies, and support and training mechanisms available for new teachers and those already in the job
So let’s take a closer look at the new TALIS data and what they tell us to better understand these findings…
Novice teachers tend to work in more challenging schools: while they represent 19% of the teacher population across the OECD, they are over-represented in the schools with high concentrations of disadvantaged students (22%) and students with a migrant background (23%)
Figure I.4.9
Table I.4.32
Half of the teachers on average across the OECD participated in professional development that covered student behaviour and classroom management over the past 12 months.
Figure I.5.9
Table I.5.18
The proportion is even higher for novice teachers – at 55%. This is the topic where there is most differences between novice and more experienced teachers.
Figure I.5.9
Table I.5.18
Only 72% of teachers across the OECD received initial training on student behaviour and classroom management, and 53% felt well or very well prepared for this when they completed their education
Only 62% of teachers received initial training on teaching in a mixed ability setting, and 44% felt prepared for this
Figure I.4.4
Tables I.4.13 and I.4.20
Insufficient induction: No matter how good initial teacher education is, intensive induction and mentoring is essential to support new teachers in bridging theory and practice. But 62% of teachers report that they did not receive any induction during their first employment. This share is even higher for novice teachers (66% - 2 out of 3)
Table I.4.38
This is unfortunate since participation in induction is associated with higher self-efficacy and job satisfaction, especially when undertaken at the current school
Figure I.4.11
Tables I.4.47 and I.4.51
Scarce use of team-teaching: Only 45% of teachers report that induction at their current school includes team-teaching with experienced teachers, despite its positive relationship with self-efficacy and job satisfaction
Figure I.4.10
Tables I.4.42, I.4.53 and I.4.54
Scarce recourse to reduced teaching loads for new teachers: Only 21% of teachers report that induction at their current school includes a reduced teaching load, again despite its promise for boosting self-efficacy and job satisfaction
Figure I.4.10
Tables I.4.42, I.4.55 and I.4.56
On average across the OECD, novice teachers report teaching about the same number of hours as more experienced teachers (around 21 hours per week)
Figure I.4.12
Table I.4.57
Insufficient use of mentoring for new teachers: Only 22% of novice teachers report having an assigned mentor on average across the OECD, despite the fact that 2 thirds of schools (64%) offer mentoring programmes

Tables I.4.42, I.4.55 and I.4.56
Insufficient use of mentoring for new teachers: Only 22% of novice teachers report having an assigned mentor on average across the OECD, despite the fact that 2 thirds of schools (64%) offer mentoring programmes
Figure I.4.14
Tables I.4.60 and I.4.64
This low use of mentoring is a lost opportunity. Indeed 77% of principals in schools that offer mentoring see this as highly important to support less experienced teachers in their teaching
Figure I.4.13
Table I.4.63
On average in England (UK), 27% of teachers work in classes with at least 10% of students whose first language is different from the language of instruction, which is higher than the average of OECD countries and economies participating in TALIS (18%). Also, more than half of the teachers (55%) work in classes with at least 1% of students who are refugees, which is almost twice the average of OECD countries and economies participating in TALIS (30%).
Shortage of support personnel is the number one resource issue reported by school principals (33% of them) as hindering their school’s capacity to provide quality instruction

55% of teachers reported reducing teachers’ administration load by recruiting more support staff as a spending priority of high importance – the 4th highest
In England, this is the number 2 priority for teachers!
