Key Findings

• Some schools participating in the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's Intensive Partnerships for Effective Teaching initiative improved more than others.
• No single initiative component appeared to be associated with school improvement or nonimprovement, although surveys indicated that some dimensions of the initiative were more salient than others.
• Interview findings suggested that school improvement might have been associated with specific leadership behaviors, staff cohesion, and interviewees' perceptions of factors outside their schools' control.
• Surveys suggested that perceptions of professional development, teacher evaluation, district and school climate, and compensation were associated with school improvement.
