The New Professionalism and the Future of Teaching team at the OECD thanks the many colleagues who have contributed to the development of this publication at various stages.
The authors of the report are Charlotte Kohlloffel, Jan Maarse, Jason McGrath, Claire Shewbridge, José Manuel Torres and Lydia Vosberg. The work also benefitted from research undertaken by Anita Mezza, Daniel Nilsson Brodén and Valentina Suarez.
The OECD team owes a great deal to our colleagues who have taken the initiative for the Future of Teaching studies conducted in Flanders, Wales and Austria that inform this publication – and also a further study in Malta. Thank you to all the participating teachers, school leaders, policy makers, researchers, academics, and other partners who contributed to the realisation of these studies.
Thank you to those who provided original contributions that are included in this publication. This includes perspectives from experts on the future of teaching by Linda Darling-Hammond and Dion Burns; Evangelia Demerouti; Valerio Ferrero; Inge Molenaar; Carol R. Rinke; and Javiera Sánchez, Martín Cáceres, Ana María Raad, María Francisca Elgueta and Patricio Vilches. Case-studies were also shared by Pedro De Bruyckere.
Thank you to the reviewers for reading earlier versions of this publication and providing constructive feedback.
The authors would like to thank Edmund Mission, Head of the Implementation and Measuring Progress (IMEP) division for his careful review of this publication and strategic guidance. We also honour the late Tia Louklola who, as the head of the Innovation and Measuring Educational Progress division in the OECD Directorate for Education and Skills, supported and challenged the development of the work – in particular, we acknowledge her suggestion to develop teacher personas that we lovingly referred to as “Tia’s personas”. The authors would also like to thank Andreas Schleicher, Director for the Directorate for Education and Skills, for his careful review of this publication and strategic guidance. The team is grateful to James Bouch for work on travel arrangements and Sabrina Bouldi for work on the layout for the publication.
