Smart school communities ask and answer hard questions about which teachers they attract and how they are developed and supported, as well as whether they reward and retain the teachers they most need to help all students achieve. Designed to provoke and inspire, the framework described in this paper offers a blueprint for how school communities can develop a system for ensuring that all students benefit from quality teaching. The framework represents a "Top Ten" list of questions smart school districts ask and answer in ensuring a caring, qualified, well-supported, and effective teacher for every student.
