RAND Corporation: focus on K-12 education 

new report from the RAND Corporation describes recent RAND work related to K-12 education, including teacher pay for performance, measuring teacher effectiveness, school leadership, school systems and reform, and out-of-school time. Headlines include:
  • No evidence that incentive pay for teacher teams improves student outcomes
  • Incorporating student performance measures into teacher evaluation systems (Recommendations include: (1) promote consistency in the student performance measures that teachers are allowed to choose, and (2) use multiple years of student achievement data in value-added estimation, and, where possible, use average teachers' value-added estimates across multiple years.)
  • First-year principals in urban school districts: how actions and working conditions relate to outcomes (A key finding of this study was that teacher capacity and cohesiveness were the school and district conditions most strongly related to student outcomes.)

When viewing the report online, each headline links to the corresponding RAND report on the topic.
