Beginning Teacher Evaluation Study Phase III Files

The agency used these data to develop and explore hypotheses about effective teaching behaviors. In Phase III of the study, the agency identified more or less effective teachers at grades 2 and 5 in reading and mathematics and then analyzed both teacher and student behavior in the classroom.

This series contains data from achievement tests in reading and mathematics administered to second and fifth grade students in California. These files contain student responses on achievement tests in reading and mathematics, student scores on these tests, total classroom time spent on different aspects of reading and mathematics by instructional mode, observed classroom behaviors of both students and teachers, and ratings of classroom climate and procedures.
