Moving Teachers: Implementation of Transfer Incentives in Seven Districts

Title:	Moving Teachers: Implementation of Transfer Incentives in Seven Districts
Description:	A new report describes implementation and intermediate impacts of an intervention designed to provide incentives to induce a school district's highest-performing teachers to work in its lowest-achieving schools. The report, "Moving Teachers: Implementation of Transfer Incentives in Seven Districts," uses random assignment within each district to form two equivalent groups of classrooms at the same grade level ("teacher teams"), a treatment group that had the chance to participate in the intervention and a control group that did not. Analyses include 90 vacancy pairs and 86 schools in the 7 study districts. Data for this report were collected on program implementation and teacher- and principal-reported behaviors and perceptions.
