Comment: Evaluation of the Teach for America Program
Paul Decker will lead an experimental evaluation of the effectiveness of Teach for America. The program recruits teachers directly from colleges or other career paths and places them in low-performing schools. The evaluation will compare the academic performance of primary school students who are taught by Teach for America teachers to that of students who are taught by certified teachers.
