Teacher Quality Research (TQR) Website

The Teacher Quality Research (TQR) Web Site provides research evidence on the characteristics and education of effective teachers in order to develop policies to improve the quality of teachers and instruction. Topics include:

- What is the best way to measure each teacher's contribution to student
achievement--their "value-added"?
- What types of teacher characteristics are associated with higher
teacher value-added?
- Are teachers with high value-added also considered effective according
to other measures?
- What does this research mean--and not mean--for policies aimed at
improving the quality of teaching?
