State by state grades on teacher effectiveness and retention

The National Council on Teacher Quality assigns states three grades for identifying effective teachers retaining them and dismissing ineffective ones and an overall rank. The study finds states do little to keep teachers on the job sometimes raising barriers and notes 20 states require extra classes not tied to improvement. Five states require advanced degrees for licensure though evidence questions benefit while 18 require higher pay for advanced degrees. Only 15 states require looking at student learning when evaluating teachers and 35 receive poor marks for not linking bonuses to student achievement.
