>>>Tim Daly, president of TNTP, an organization focused on teacher quality, said the lasting effects of teacher evaluation systems are almost entirely based on local implementation.

“There are some states that have reported results looking very much like the old widget effect and there are some individual districts at least that have seen quite a bit more distribution,” Daly said, referring to a 2009 study conducted by TNTP that found 94 percent of teachers were rated in the top two categories, while less than 1 percent were deemed unsatisfactory. Daly’s group has questioned why schools are failing if most teachers are excellent.>>>>

Also, who..... or what... funded the study?

And also.... if we can find out who/what TNTP is.... who/what funds them/it ?
