Abstract: This study will meet the Congressional mandate to evaluate the Teacher and School Leader Incentive Program (TSL) by including two evaluation components: 1) Descriptive study of Teacher and School Leader Incentive Program (TSL) grantees’ , and 2) Implementation, impact, and cost-effectiveness study of designating one or more “teacher leaders” as coaches in schools. It will provide updated information about the TSL program to help ED understand which strategies grantees are using and how effective a commonly-used strategy—designating teacher leaders to provide coaching to other teachers—is in improving educator effectiveness and ultimately student achievement.
