T he Intensive Partnerships for Effective Teaching initiative, designed and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, was a multiyear effort aimed at increasing students' access to effective teaching and, as a result, improving student outcomes. It focused particularly on high school graduation and college attendance among low-income minority (LIM) students. The foundation asked a team of researchers from the RAND Corporation and the American Institutes for Research to evaluate whether the initiative improved teaching effectiveness and student outcomes. The team found that, despite the sites' efforts and considerable resources, the initiative failed to achieve its goals for improved student achievement and graduation, although the sites did implement improved measures of teaching effectiveness. With minor exceptions, student achievement, LIM students' access to effective teaching, and graduation rates in the participating districts and CMOs were not dramatically better than at similar sites that did not participate in the initiative. This brief, based on a longer final report, summarizes the findings of the team's evaluation and offers some possible reasons the Intensive Partnership initiative did not achieve its goals for students.
