The data are clear that students in high poverty schools perform worse on most measures of educational attainment; however, the discrepancy between high poverty schools and more affluent schools is reduced when there are quality teachers in the high poverty schools.&nbsp;&nbsp;The challenge is that teachers leave these schools at a higher rate.&nbsp;&nbsp;This turnover contributes to the poor outcomes for students in high poverty schools. Recruiting and training replacement teachers is an expensive proposition for districts.&nbsp;&nbsp;One approach to increasing retention in high poverty schools is to offer retention bonuses to teachers in these schools.&nbsp;&nbsp;There are two questions with respect to the use of retention bonuses: 1) are they effective over the long term, and 2) does having a more stable teachering corps increase student outcomes?&nbsp;&nbsp;A recent report examined the impact of teacher retention bonuses in Tennessee (Springer, Swain, &amp; Rodriguez, 2016).&nbsp;&nbsp;The main findings are that teachers that participated in the retention bonus program were significantly more likely to stay in their school than teachers who did not participate.&nbsp;&nbsp;Importantly, the students in the classrooms of participating teachers had significantly higher academic gains than students of non-participating teachers.&nbsp;&nbsp;Looking at these data through the Active Implementation Frameworks lens, the retention bonus represents a usable innovation.&nbsp;&nbsp;The teacher retention bonuses are also an element of the Competency driver, specifically Selection.&nbsp;&nbsp;Finally, this innovation links to the Organizational driver since to effectively implement it, the innovation has to be considered a system level intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Citation<\/strong>: Springer, M.
