Intensive Induction Boosts Achievement, IES Study Says
That's the bottom line of this new study out from the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences. It's an important study because the experimental design allows us to conclude that it was the intensive, two-year structured mentoring that "treatment" schools received—and not some other factor—that led to these boosts.
But what's more striking is that this is the third-year report of an ongoing study, and neither of the first two yearsof study found any effect on student achievement. In fact, this year of study occurred after all the "treatment" schools no longer received the intensive support.
That leaves us with this perplexing question: Why did it take so long for the effects to show up? Does it,
