Abstract: Congress mandated that IES conduct an independent
evaluation of the Teacher and School Leader Incentive Program (TSL),
which supports a variety of strategies aimed at improving the quality
of teaching and attracting and retaining effective educators. In
response to the legislative mandate to evaluate the TSL program, the
first evaluation component addresses the need to understand the
characteristics of districts that received TSL grants and the key
strategies they are using to improve educator effectiveness and student
achievement. The focus of the second evaluation component arises from a
need to assess effectiveness, focusing on a single, common strategy of
designating teacher leaders to provide coaching to other teachers. This
strategy of focusing on a single, common strategy of grantees is part
of an evidence-building strategy for the program that complements
evidence
[[Page 11905]]
on other aspects of the grant that have been previously evaluated. More
research is needed to provide guidance on whether this teacher leader
strategy improves teacher effectiveness and student achievement. The
second component of the evaluation uses a random assignment design to
study the impacts (and implementation and cost-effectiveness) of the
teacher leader role in non-TSL districts.
