The Qualifications and Classroom Performance of Teachers Moving to Charter Schools

From Urban Institute Latest Reports:

Do charter schools draw good teachers from traditional, mainstream public schools? Using a 1997-2007 panel of all North Carolina public school teachers, I find nuanced patterns of teacher quality flowing into charter schools. High rates of inexperienced and uncertified teachers moved to charter schools, but among certified teachers changing schools, the on-paper qualifications of charter movers were better or no different than the qualifications of teachers moving to comparable mainstream schools. Also, charter movers were more effective in math and reading instruction, relative to other mobile teachers. Charter movers compared less favorably, however, to non-mobile teachers and colleagues within their sending schools. The distribution of classroom performance among future charter teachers, adjusted for sampling error, was significantly lower than the distribution for exclusively mainstream teachers.
