This case study will serve primarily as an historical account detailing the development of Quality Teacher and Education Act (QTEA). QTEA and the most salient details that led to its eventual passage, serving as an information source for San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) and other districts when they take on potentially controversial policy initiatives. Section One will detail how funding needs in the district and tense relationships between the union, the district, and the Board of Education initially stalled the parcel tax and how positive changes in district leadership facilitated collaboration around its development. Section Two will discuss how the district and union, with help from external partners, built support for the parcel tax. Finally, Section Three will detail the district and union negotiation process and the final provisions of QTEA. (Contains 2 figures, 6 tables and 23 endnotes.).

Research consistently shows that teacher quality is a powerful determinant of student achievement gains. It has also been shown that urban school districts serving low-performing, low-income, and/or minority students have a less-qualified teacher workforce. This disparity can be traced back to both teacher recruitment and retention; urban school districts have a harder time recruiting teachers, and their retention rates are much lower than surrounding districts in the labor market. In order to improve teacher recruitment and retention, an increasingly popular intervention for urban school districts is raising teacher salaries, often in targeted areas. While there is evidence to suggest that teachers respond to compensation in deciding to become or remain teachers, there is little empirical research studying the effectiveness of compensation increases in recruiting or retaining high-quality teachers in high-need schools and districts. To address this gap, this dissertation assesses the effect of a salary increase on teacher recruitment and retention in the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD). Specifically, I examine the effect of the Quality Teacher and Education Act of 2008 (QTEA), which introduced an overall salary increase ($500-6,300, varying by placement on the salary schedule), a $2,000 bonus for teaching in a hard-to-staff school, a $1,000 bonus for teaching in a hard-to-fill subject, and retention bonuses ($2,500 after the 4th year and $3,000 after the 8th year). In teacher recruitment, I show that QTEA's salary increase improved SFUSD's attractiveness within the local teacher labor market and increased both the size and quality of the teacher applicant pool. Furthermore, I show that such changes to the applicant pool led to moderate improvements in the quality of new-hires. In teacher retention, the pattern of results shows that QTEA had only a minor (if any) effect. It appears that QTEA's possible effect was limited by the economic downturn corresponding with the policy's implementation. Teacher retention increases during this time period (because high local unemployment rates limited alternative employment options) leave little room for QTEA to have an additional effect. The analyses in this dissertation provide a first step in understanding the potential effect of policies like QTEA in improving the quality of the teacher workforce in urban school districts. The fact that I am able to detect change in teacher recruitment in such a short time provides an indication that compensation increases, even of a relatively small size, can be used as a lever for redistributing teachers, which is particularly important given the substantially unequal sorting of teacher quality across schools and districts.

Since the 2009-10 school-year, the Center for Education Policy Analysis (CEPA) at Stanford University administered Teacher, Assistant Principal (AP), and Principal surveys as part of San Francisco Unified School District's (SFUSD's) evaluation of the Quality Teacher and Education Act (passed as Proposition A 2008). The findings from these surveys have informed District policy decisions on multiple levels. This brief gives SFUSD teachers, APs, and Principals some exemplars of the findings from the 2009-10, 2010-11, and 2011-12 surveys. This survey brief highlights three key findings from the surveys that influenced District decisions. To read about other findings from the survey, see the Year 1 and Year 2 evaluation reports of the Quality Teacher and Education Act. Also, CEPA published SFUSD survey reports highlighting a number of the statistics stemming from the survey. [For Survey Reports I, II, and III, see "San Francisco Unified School District Survey Report I: Teacher Evaluation" (ED576755); "San Francisco Unified School District Survey Report II: Teacher Hiring" (ED576765); and "San Francisco Unified School District Survey Report III: Career Pathways for Principals and Assistant Principals" (ED576763).].

This report is organized around the following themes: (1) supply and demand for quality teachers (scholastic attainments of prospective teachers at the high school and college levels, demographic and social forces having an impact upon the recruitment of qualified students); (2) programs for teacher education (liberal education, subject specialization, professional education); (3) accountability for teacher education (state standards for teacher education programs, accreditation of teacher education programs); (4) resources for teacher education (school of education funding, allocation of resources for research and development, advanced degree programs); and (5) conditions necessary to support the highest quality of teaching (teacher salaries, advancement opportunities, work environments, status, autonomy). A broad analysis of each of the issues is provided and supported by empirical findings. A series of 16 recommendations is proposed to address the need for change and improvement. Included among the appendices is a listing of testimony presented at the commission hearings. (JD)

Powerful Teacher Education describes the strategies, goals, content, and processes of seven highly successful and long-standing teacher education programs - Alverno College, Bank Street College, Trinity University, University of California, Berkeley, University of Southern Maine, University of Virginia, and Wheelock College. All these colleges and universities have succeeded in preparing teachers to teach diverse learners to achieve high levels of performance and understanding. In discussing the common features of these programs, Linda Darling-Hammond shows what outstanding teacher education models do and how they do it, and what their graduates accomplish as a result. Powerful Teacher Education also examines the policies, organizational features, resources, and relationships that have enabled these programs to succeed.
