The Education Trust conducted a similar study in numerous schools 6 or 7 years ago and voila' teachers made a huge difference!! These are summaries - I couldn't find the original research.http://www.edtrust.org/dc/publication/the-real-value-of-teachers-using-new-information-about-teacher-effectiveness-to-closehttp://www.edtrust.org/dc/publication/teaching-inequality-how-poor-and-minority-students-are-shortchanged-on-teacher-qualit
Well this blows the theory out of the water that alternatively certified teachers are the worst thing to hit classrooms - TFA teachers are alternatively certified.I read Katie Haycock (Hancock?) from Education Trust report very similar information about quality teachers making a huge difference in "hopeless" schools at the CASMEO summit several years ago! Hopefully someone will start listening soon....
