The document discusses the significant impact of effective teacher qualities on school effectiveness and outlines a framework for developing these qualities within the Scottish educational context. It emphasizes the need for a restructured teacher education program that integrates clinical practice and research-based evidence. Future evaluations will involve both proximal and distal measures of teacher effectiveness to assess the program's impact on student teachers and their environments.
