Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The study underlying the snapshot covers "fourth- to eighth-grade teachers over five school years (2008-2009 to 2012-2013) in 26 school districts across the country." It examines whether low-income students are taught by less effective teachers and whether reducing inequity would close the achievement gap, and analyzes how teacher hiring and movement into and out of schools affect low-income students' access to effective teachers.
