Report: The link between teacher quality and student outcomes: A research synthesisCategoriesAreasDISTRICT:inclusive leadership for equity and accountability, SCHOOL:inclusive leadership for equity and accountability AuthorsGoe, L. Published2007 PublisherNational Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality AbstractMany reports, studies, and research articles published in recent years suggest that teacher quality matters a great deal in terms of student learning. This research synthesis explores the evidence for this relationship in an effort to help identify which teacher qualifications and characteristics should be prioritized in educating and hiring those teachers who are most likely to have a positive impact on student learning. In addition, the framework developed for this research synthesis, when applied, will help put into perspective the many different aspects of teacher quality and how they have been measured. The key questions covered in this research synthesis are as follows: What is teacher quality? How can it be measured? How important is it to student learning? Do certain aspects of teacher quality have a stronger impact on student achievement for specific students, subjects, or grade levels? How important is teacher experience? How can teacher quality be better understoodThe synthesis considers the various ways of defining teacher quality as well as the many ways it has been measured. The studies that are the focus of the synthesis use standardized student achievement test scores as outcome measures. The reason for focusing on teacher contributions to student achievement test scores is that this approach allows results to be compared across studies. Files |
