Teacher Preparation Experiences and Early Teacher Effectiveness Study (TPEETE) is a data collection that is part of a study authorized under the Improving Teacher State Formula Grants (TSFG) program. TSFG includes a cross-sectional survey that measures the frequency of particular variations in teachers' preparation experiences. The study examines whether the instructional skills that teachers learn about and have opportunities to practice in their preparation programs are associated with novice teachers' effectiveness in the classroom, as measured by teacher value-added scores. The data collection was conducted using electronic data collection from school districts and online surveys of school districts and elementary and middle school teachers. Teachers in their first, second, or third year of teaching responsible for teaching to at least one general education classroom of fourth- through sixth-grade students were sampled. TSFG will compute value-added scores for teachers, based on students' state math and English language arts tests, and examine the relationships between teacher preparation experiences and teacher value-added scores.
