Yet, this common goal should not be interpreted to mean that the goal is for every student to be taught by a teacher of his same race, since doing so would effectively result in school segregation (either across or within schools) and would lose the many benefits of being in a diverse classroom. Rather, we assume the goal is to build a diverse teacher workforce so that all students interact regularly with teachers of their own and different races and ethnicities.

Neither organization received any funding to produce this report. The statements contained herein are accurate representations of the state of research and the teacher workforce, based on the authors’ analyses and expert opinions, and do not represent the views of either organization.

This overabundance of textbooks has precluded the textbook reviews that would be valuable additions to any discussion about what teachers should learn about classroom management before going into the classroom. We are grateful to the institutions that provided the full sets of materials that made this study possible.

The Ohio Teacher Incentive Fund (OTIF) is one of more than 60 grantees in the third round of the federal Teacher Incentive Fund program (TIF3), and part of a group of many more schools, districts, and states that aim to improve student achievement through financial incentives for teachers and schools. This literature review explores the myriad PBCS programs being implemented across the nation. It also examines some of the challenges inherent in linking student performance to schools and teachers, as well as some of the ways to resolve those concerns. This literature review serves as a companion piece to the first OTIF3 evaluation report (November 2011).

By transforming their values and behaviors, these transportation organizations sought to reduce employee and passenger accidents and injuries, as well as build more collaborative cultures. This paper illustrates case studies of Amtrak and WMATA and examines the strategies and promising practices that these organizations employed to improve their safety cultures.
