  In Roundtable Session: Evidence on the Role of Principals in Policy Implementation

Abstract

In 2010, North Carolina implemented a revised school executive evaluation instrument which required school principals to utilize Teacher Working Conditions (TWC) as a component of the school improvement process, which was optional prior to 2010. Teacher Working Conditions were heralded as a way to improve student outcomes and address conditions which caused teachers to leave a school. This study used data from 2004-2016 in piecewise regression and found that 1) teachers reported higher satisfaction beginning in 2010, 2) impact on turnover was less clear, and 3) use of the survey results are inconsistent according to teachers.
