Subclaims¶

Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q3 i? Schools under Closure and Restart, AUSL, and OSI models rehired less than 10 percent of the teachers from the year before intervention, while Reconstitution schools rehired about half. → de la Torre 2013 q3 i? The post-intervention teacher workforce across all models was more likely to be white, younger, less experienced, and provisionally certified than the pre-intervention workforce. → de la Torre 2013 (2)

Evidence¶

de la Torre 2013¶

de la Torre, M., Allensworth, E., Jagesic, S., Sebastian, J., & Salmonowicz, M.; with Meyers, C., & Gerdeman, R. D. (2013). Turning Around Low-Performing Schools in Chicago. University of Chicago Consortium on Chicago School Research. https://consortium.uchicago.edu/publications/turning-around-low-performing-schools-chicago-full-report

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Analysis of CPS personnel records comparing the teacher workforce the year before and the first year after intervention. Under Closure and Restart, AUSL, and OSI, fewer than 10 percent of prior teachers were rehired; Reconstitution schools rehired about half, possibly due to only a few months for planning and hiring.

"The vast majority of teachers in schools under Closure and Restart, AUSL, and OSI models were not rehired after reform. These schools rehired less than 10 percent of the teachers from the year before intervention."

de la Torre 2013 (2)¶

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Comparison of teacher demographic and credential characteristics (degrees, CPS experience, age, race, gender, certification) from personnel records before versus after intervention across all reform models. No effect sizes are printed.

"The teacher workforce after intervention across all models was more likely to be white, younger, and less experienced, and was more likely to have provisional certification than the teachers who worked at those schools before the intervention."

Discussion¶

School turnaround is a gradual process rather than an immediate event triggered by replacing staff or leadership — related
Turnaround schools generally served the same students after reform, except Closure and Restart schools, which shifted toward more advantaged, higher-achieving students — related
Amargosa Valley School had eight weeks to fill 8 of its 14 certified positions after more than half its teachers left before SIG implementation — related
