2025  \nEXECUTIVE SUMMARY  \nTHE MOST EFFECTIVE LEVER FOR SCHOOL  \nIMPROVEMENT IS ALREADY IN YOUR BUILDING  \nTeacher leaders, already in your building, are a powerful force for school improvement. They are the key to scaling high-quality instruction, improving professional learning, and retaining talent within existing budgets. Based on 25 years of proven results, NIET demonstrates how to achieve better student outcomes by building the capacity of teachers and leaders.  \nNIET’s TAP System is a comprehensive staffing solution centered on teacher leadership that provides professional growth opportunities for teachers and increases instructional excellence in classrooms across a district. Investing in teacher leadership roles fuels a leadership development pipeline that produces school and district leaders with strong instructional leadership skills.  \nThis is a proven approach .  \nResearch shows that NIET partner schools increase student achievement by 7 percentage points above comparable schools, and teachers’intended retention is 12 points higher. In 2023, the National Bureau of Economic Research released a statewide study of the impact of NIET’s TAP System model, demonstrating a significant impact on student academic achievement and a $14 to $1 return on investment.  \nStrategic staffing is a cost-effective, proven approach that enables school systems to achieve better results with their current staff and budget resources. The TAP System operationalizes strategic staffing through six core elements.  \nHow the TAP System Operationalizes Strategic Staffing  \nACHIEVING BETTER RESULTS: HOW EFFECTIVE STRATEGIC STAFFING INCREASES TEACHER AND STUDENT OUTCOMES  \nKristan Van HooK, amanda Perrino, & JosHua H. Barnett  \nFALL 2025  \nAchieving Better Results: How Effective Strategic Staffing Increases Teacher and Student Outcomes Fall 2025  \nINTRODUCTION  \nThe need for more strategic use of staff and resources in schools is urgent. Teachers need high-quality professional learning to use a highquality curriculum and differentiate instruction for students effectively. Yet school systems and structures are not designed to help teachers at different levels of effectiveness grow and improve in their use of the curriculum over time. And many school systems do not have processes in  \nincrease student achievement by 7 percentage points above comparable schools, and teachers'intended retention is 12 points higher.  \nOver the last twenty-five years of working with state and school system partners, the National Institute for Excellence in Teaching (NIET) has helped school systems achieve better results within existing budgets by building the capacity of  \nTHE TAP SYSTEM: NIET’S STRATEGIC STAFFING MODEL TO ADDRESS TEACHER CHALLENGES  \nThere are six commonly held characteristics of strategic school staffing.1 These strategies establish a structure of distributed leadership, extend the reach of effective teachers through innovative teaming structures, and leverage technology to support improvement.  \nNIET works with district partners across multiple states to implement a model of strategic staffing called the TAP System for Teacher and Student Advancement that incorporates these six strategies, resulting in improvements in teacher effectiveness, recruitment, retention, and, ultimately, student achievement.  \nplace to ensure that students who need the most support have access to effective instruction.  \nAchieving better results for students requires recognizing and tapping into the teachers and school leaders with high levels of expertise to drive continuous improvement.  \nWhat if schools could take the same staff and resources but get dramatically different results?  \nNIET’s strategic staffing model, the TAP System, elevates teachers into instructional leadership roles, improves teacher practices, and increases student access to high-quality instruction. Research shows that NIET partner schools  \ntheir staff.
