They are very attentive to the learning of each individual child. They have strategies to help kids use their strengths to get the learning done.

Renee MooreInterview with Linda Darling-Hammond on teacher preparation and quality. Especially like her point that teachers in other countries are given more paid time for collaboration than U.S. teachers are.

Q. What sort of support do teachers need to become more effective, from
professional development to time for collaboration with colleagues?
A. In
most high-achieving countries,
teachers
have 15 to 25 hours a week where they are planning collaboratively with their
colleagues, so they are not just making up lessons at the kitchen table on a
Sunday night by themselves.-

I agree professional development is key, but Hammond's idea about collaborative planning is excellent.
