Safal Approach

We partnered with the Laura & John Arnold Foundation to conduct an assessment of the impact of its investments in teacher evaluation and compensation innovation programs in New York, Houston, Aldine, TX, and Washington, D.C. public schools. We were brought on to conduct extensive primary and secondary research with a view to understanding design choices made by the districts as well as the overall impact on teacher performance and student outcomes.
