Internationally, a growing body of research confirms teacher quality as one of the most important school factors influencing students achievement. This means that teachers' qualifications, based on measures of knowledge, education and experience, account for a large share of the variance in students' achievement. Thus quality teaching is at the center of schooling systems and school effectiveness, and recognition of the critical relationship between teachers and learners highlights the need to better define what constitutes good teaching. Professional standards for teaching describe the skills, knowledge and values for effective teaching. They capture key elements of teacher's work, reflecting their growing expertise and professional achievements. The paper has examined some problems of the content of teacher education programs being employed in 40 teachers' colleges and suggested that the national framework for professional teaching standards need to be developed to provide the basis for quality assurance of pre-service teaching programs. Standards would make explicit the intuitive understandings and knowledge that characterize good teaching practice and enable this to be widely shared within the profession.
