In order to improve student performance and close the achievement gap, accountability policies utilize three incentive-based approaches: (1) sanctions and rewards for schools; (2) the extensive use of student data in local decision making; and (3) the provision of school choice programs. My dissertation focuses on the three policy instruments and examines the impact of each on teacher assignment and student achievement. It also explores the role of principal characteristics in shaping teacher assignment within schools. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Educational Leadership & Policy Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of
