Abstract: This OMB package for the Evaluation of Moving High-Performing Teachers to Low-Performing Schools requests clearance to recruit school districts to test the effect of teacher incentives designed to move high-performing teachers to targeted low-performing schools. The evaluation aims to estimate the impact of the high-performing teachers on the low-performing schools that they transfer to. The Department is also requesting clearance to collect student records data from those recruited districts and administer a data collection form to a group of 70 teachers participating in a pilot study that will be conducted for the 2008-09 school year. This request is the first of two. A future request will seek clearance to collect additional teacher and principal survey data associated with the evaluation.
