Impact evaluation of the Teacher Internship Placement Program (2019 - 2020)$31,191
- Description
- The Teacher Internship Placement Program allows final year students to spend a whole calendar year in a school where they will gain a permanent position the following year after graduation. The focus of the research will be the TIPP cohorts from 2016 and 2017, and a sample of beginning teachers from the same graduating cohort who did not complete the TIPP. These participants will be invited to complete a survey and be available for face-to-face interviews. Senior staff at participating schools will also be invited to participate in a face-to-face or telephone interview.
