request for approval of data collection activities that will be used to 
support An Impact Evaluation of Moving High-Performing Teachers to Low-
Performing Schools. The evaluation aims to estimate the impact of a 
program, labeled the Talent Transfer Initiative (TTI) program, on

high performance using value-added student learning gains and offers 
them monetary incentives to transfer to schools identified as low-
performing based on average student test scores.
