Over seven million teachers file into classrooms across Latin America and the Caribbean every day. These women and men represent four percent of the region's overall labour force, over twenty percent of its professional workers, and their salaries absorb close to four percent of the region's GDP. Their working conditions vary widely - from mud-walled, one-room rural schools to world-class facilities - but teachers everywhere are the key actors in the region's efforts to improve education quality.This book shows that teacher quality is crucial for economic development, and presents a first-ever picture of how LAC's teachers perform inside the classroom, drawing on new research in over 14,000 classrooms in seven countries. It presents the latest evidence on the three core strategies for raising teacher quality: attracting high-talent students into teaching careers, developing their skills effectively, and using incentives to motivate high performance. Finally, the book analyses the political dynamics of teacher policy reforms, drawing lessons from recent cases of successful and unsuccessful reforms in the region.

Molecular modeling and simulation play a central role in academic and industrial research focused on physico-chemical properties and processes. The efforts carried out in this field have crystallized in a variety of models, simulation methods, and computational techniques that are examining the relationship between the structure, dynamics and functional role of biomolecules and their interactions. In particular, there has been a huge advance in the understanding of the molecular determinants that mediate the interaction between small compounds acting as ligands and their macromolecular targets. This book provides an updated description of the advances experienced in recent years in the field of molecular modeling and simulation of biomolecular recognition, with particular emphasis towards the development of efficient strategies in structure-based drug design.
