Abstract

The article discusses a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation project to identify indicators of excellent teaching. Research partners in New York City and Charlotte-Mecklenburg, North Carolina will videotape and examine teaching practices of 4,000 teachers. They will also examine the relationship between student achievement and student perceptions of teacher effectiveness, teachers' content knowledge and command of pedagogy, and value added estimates of teacher effectiveness based on test scores.
