This is a review of the book Becoming an Effective Teacher by Kisirkoi and Cude (2021). It is designed as a resource text for pre-service and in-service teachers and teacher educators. The authors use a mix of theoretical and practical discourse that focus specifically on a key ingredient needed for effective teaching and learning in the 21st century, that is enabling teachers and teacher educators to conceptualize their classrooms in more student-centred ways. Through the presentation of 16 chapters grouped under three themes, the authors present a balanced discussion of how each component of teaching is connected to acheive the ultimate goal of becoming more prepared to address the changing needs of the 21st century student. Date

Nigeria : Anambra TeachersWorld Bank (Washington, DC, 2014-04-07)Research suggests that teacher quality
 is the main school-based predictor of student achievement
 and that several consecutive years of outstanding teaching
 can offset the learning deficits of disadvantaged students
 (Hanushek and Rivkin, 2006; Nye et al, 2004; Park and
 Hannum, 2001; Rivkin et al, 2005; Rockoff, 2004; Sanders,
 1998; Sanders and Rivers 1996; and Vignoles et al, 2000).
 However, it is not yet clear exactly which teacher policies
 can raise teacher effectiveness (Goldhaber, 2002 and Rivkin
 et al, 2005). Thus, devising effective policies to improve
 teaching quality remains a challenge. The eight policy goals
 includes the following headings: setting clear expectations
 for teachers; attracting the best into teaching; preparing
 teachers with useful training and experience; matching
 teachers' skills with students' needs; leading
 teachers with strong principals; monitoring teaching and
 learning; supporting teachers to improve instruction; and
 motivating teachers to perform.

Nigeria : Ekiti TeachersWorld Bank (Washington, DC, 2014-04-07)Research suggests that teacher quality

 teaching quality remains a challenge. There is increasing
 interest across the globe to attract, retain, develop and
 motivate great teachers. While the World Bank has ample
 experience in supporting teacher policy reforms in
 developing countries, until recently there was no systematic
 effort to offer data and analysis that can provide policy
 guidance on teacher policies. The focus of the initiative is
 the design of teacher policies as opposed to their
 implementation on the ground. A number of complementary
 activities will be looking at implementation in a sample of
 countries as this will involve a different methodological
 approach and will require more financial and human resources.
