For a long time,there is no consensus on the connotation of teacher quality in basic education.The important reason lies in the diversity and dynamic view of teacher quality.Based on the change of the connotation of quality and the analysis of the characteristics of teachers'profession,this study proposes that teacher quality should include three levels:individual quality of teachers,quality of teachers'teams,and quality of school organizations.At present,the emphasis of promoting teacher quality improvement in basic education should be shifted from supervising individual teachers to guiding and cultivating teacher teams and building excellent schools.
