    The Tennessee Comptroller's Office released a report examining the impact of ineffective teachers on students in Tennessee's public schools. The report found that more than 8,000 students had an ineffective teacher for math, English, or both subjects in consecutive years between 2013-2014 and 2014-2015. Students taught by ineffective teachers for multiple years were less likely to be proficient on state assessments, with the largest effects seen in high- and low-performing students. Certain groups of students, including English learners, students with disabilities, and those in high-poverty schools, were over 50% more likely to have ineffective teachers two years in a row. The report proposes considerations for ensuring equitable access to effective teachers for all students

    New Report Examines Impact of Ineffective Teachers on Students


    The Tennessee Comptroller’s Office has released a new report that explores how students in Tennessee’s public
    schools are impacted when they are taught by an ineffective teacher for two consecutive years. The report was
    prepared at the request of Senator Dolores Gresham.

    More than 8,000 Tennessee students (1.6 percent of students included in the study) had a teacher with low
    evaluation scores in both the 2013-14 and 2014-15 school years in math, English, or both subjects.

    Students were less likely than their peers to be proficient or advanced on the state’s assessments when they were
    taught by ineffective teachers in consecutive years. Student achievement also suffered with the largest effects
    found for the highest and lowest performing students. These results are consistent with other research indicating
    that ineffective teachers have negative academic impacts on students.

    Students in certain districts, grades, subjects, and subgroups were more likely to be taught in consecutive years
    by ineffective teachers. English language learners, students in special education, and students in high-poverty
    schools were over 50 percent more likely than other students to have consecutive ineffective teachers. Students
    who had two ineffective teachers represented over 10 percent of the examined students in two school districts.

    The report includes three policy considerations that address how to increase equitable access to effective
    teachers for all students, how to ensure that no student has ineffective teachers in consecutive years, and
    whether an annual report from the Tennessee Department of Education on this issue should be required.
