Nonfinancial Extrinsic and Intrinsic Teacher Motivation in Government and Private Schools 2015-2017, Impact Evaluation Surveys

This impact evaluation was conducted by IDinsight for STIR Education in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh in India, and was funded by a World Bank Strategic Impact Evaluation Fund grant. The study seeks to evaluate the impact of STIR's purely motivational, pedagogically neutral, teacher-focused model on student learning levels. STIR works with teachers in low-cost and government schools in order to improve student learning by empowering teachers to act as change-makers and to innovate to overcome challenges in the classroom. IDinsight conducted two three-armed randomized control trials. The study looks at outcomes from 180 Affordable Private Schools (APS) in Delhi and 270 government schools in the Raebareli and Varanasi districts of Uttar Pradesh. The study began in early 2015, and lasted two academic years. In addition to measuring STIR's impact in two different contexts, the study simultaneously tests two iterations of STIR's model in these two contexts.
