OECD International Teaching and Learning Survey (TALIS)

I'm writing this entry before the report has been issued* on 16 June 2009, but click here  or www.oecd.org/edu/talis to read all about it.  From the site: 

The development of the new OECD Teaching and Learning International Survey programme (TALIS) is a significant contribution to the OECD evidence base on education. Never before have we had the opportunity to gain such an understanding of the teaching and learning environment inside schools and how these contrast between and within countries. In providing this, TALIS will help countries to review and develop policies that create the conditions for effective schooling.
