The Teacher Advisory Council was established to advise the National Academies on matters related to education, especially teaching and learning in U.S. schools. The mission of the Council is to increase the usefulness, relevance, and communication of research to educational practice; help the research community develop new research that is informed by practice; provide advice about how other National Academies programs, initiatives, and recommendations can be most effectively implemented in schools; and offer guidance about how the National Academies can best communicate with the teaching community in the United States.
	Bruce Alberts, former president of the National Academies, talks about the Teacher Advisory Council.
