Gap Analysis: Staff Factors
The purpose of the “gap analysis” is to identify:
- critical questions that need to be answered to provide effective, evidence-based education (what we need to know)
- existing information that answers these questions (what we do know)
- “gaps” in the knowledge base (what we don’t know)
The Teacher Factors GAP analysis is meant to be an evolving document, as more questions and answers are identified. It starts with four basic, yet critical, questions:
What are the critical skills for effective teaching?
How are these critical skills evaluated?
How are effective teachers developed?
How are effective teachers sustained?
Data regarding each question is organized into factors:
What are the critical skills for effective teaching?
classroom management
curriculum
assessment
data-based decision making
resource management
How are these critical skills evaluated?
direct observation
supervisory survey
teacher self report
student performance
How are effective teachers developed?
teacher preparation
induction
ongoing training
selection
performance pay
How are effective teachers sustained?
teacher turnover metrics
impact of turnover on student performance
costs of teacher turnover
strategies for teacher retention
