Title of Collection: Study of the 

Distribution of Teacher Effectiveness. 

OMB Control Number: Pending. 

Agency Form Number(s): N/A.

Abstract: Title II, Part A, the 

Improving Teacher State Formula 

Grants program is the primary federal 

funding under the Elementary and 

Secondary Education Act to support a 

high quality teacher in every classroom. 

The American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act (ARRA) supports 

reform in four key areas including 

increasing teacher effectiveness and 

promoting the equitable distribution of 

effective teachers. Therefore, this study 

describes the distribution of teacher 

quality within districts over time and 

any changes in that distribution 

associated with district strategies to 

promote an equitable distribution of 

high quality teachers. 

This study will provide information 

over time about the distribution of 

teacher quality and will document 

district efforts to promote teacher equity 

within a select number of districts. The 

research questions are: 

• What is the distribution of teacher 

quality across schools within districts? 

• What strategies and policies are 

districts promoting to address 

inequitable distribution of teacher 

quality? How these strategies/policies 

are enacted (e.g. strategy determination, 

goals and objectives, theory of action, 

features, administration, necessary 

resources, and challenges to 

administration, intended duration)? 

• What is the relationship between 

the district policies/strategies and the 

distribution of teacher quality? 

The study will be conducted in up to 

30 geographically-dispersed school 

districts. The study will document the 

distribution of teacher quality, within 

participating districts, using teacher 

value-added analyses. The study will 

also describe changes in the distribution 

of teacher quality across the outcomes 

years 2010–2011 through 2012–2013. 

Data collection will include student 

achievement obtained from 

administrative records, annual semistructured district leadership interviews 

about district strategies and policies to 

address inequitable distribution of 

teacher quality, and district 

administrative records/personnel data.
