Highly Effective Teachers - ASCD INFObrief
Volume 15 - Issue 3 - Sept 2009
"Students who have highly effective teachers for three years in a row will score 50 percentile points higher on achievement tests than students who have less effective teachers three years in a row."
"Moreover....assigning great teachers five years in a row to a class of disadvantaged children could close the achievement gap."
Yet, "the odds that a child, let alone a disadvantaged child, will be assigned a great teacher five years running is 1 in 17,000."
What We Do
The CLASS Project, our largest initiative to date, aims to put research into practice. CLASS (Creative Leadership Achieves Student Success) focuses on four components of effective teaching to raise student achievement.
Chalkboard’s other initiatives also combine research and public will in the areas of accountability and student success. You can also read our original 15 point action plan from 2004.
