PDK International's Summit on High-Performing Educators will provide educators with an opportunity to think about and discuss the question: What makes a great teacher?

Research shows that the single most important factor in a student's education is his or her teacher. A panel of experts will tackle this issue in a moderated session on Thursday, November 13. The topic will be further enhanced through debates, workshops, panel discussions, lectures, and demonstrations on the following topics:

• What makes a teacher a high-performing educator?

• How do we prepare preservice teachers to become highly effective educators?

• What is the role of the administrator in facilitating a teacher's professional growth?

• How do we measure a teacher's effectiveness?

• Can we cultivate highly effective teachers through future educator programs?

• How do other countries prepare teachers for success?

• What is the role of professional development in moving teachers along a continuum of excellence?

• Do morals and ethical values play a part in teacher quality?

We invite you to join us as we discuss the impact of global education on the future of our world.
