    Abstract

    Recent evidence has confirmed that teacher quality is a critical component in student achievement. The Teacher Advancement Program (TAP) is a whole-school approach to evaluating and compensating teachers and providing professional development opportunities to both improve teaching and help schools attract and retain good teachers. This report describes Mathematica’s five-year evaluation, which began in 2007, in high-need Chicago public schools.
