„High-performing systems view teaching as a profession, one that is attractive to enter and remain in and one that offers rewards – intrinsic and extrinsic – to those who excel. In doing so, the systems help ensure that well-qualified individuals go into teaching, thus enhancing the respect for the profession throughout society.“
Univ.-Prof. Dr. Linda Darling-Hammond u. a., „Empowered Educators“ (2017), S. 182
