Student mobility is the phenomenon of students in grades K-12 changing schools, both during the school year and in the summer, for reasons other than customary promotion from elementary school to middle school or middle school to high school. Student mobility is an important research topic because of: 1) the current education policy environment, with its focus on school choice; 2) the impact of student mobility on school building and school district performance; 3) the relationship of mobility and at-risk children and their families; and 4) the impact of highly mobile populations on the quality of neighborhoods and communities.
In May 2002, The Columbus Foundation commissioned research by Community Research Partners (CRP) to study the causes, patterns and impact of high student mobility in the Linden-McKinley feeder pattern of the Columbus Public Schools (CPS) and to recommend both school and community strategies to address mobility. CRP is a non-profit research and evaluation organization, and a partnership of the City of Columbus, United Way of Central Ohio and the John Glenn Institute at The Ohio State University.

In a program at Lorain County Community College and Owens Community College in Ohio, low-income students received enhanced counseling and advising services and were eligible to receive a modest stipend for two semesters. The program improved academic outcomes during the second semester and continued to have a positive effect on registration rates in the semester that followed, but it did not have any meaningful effects on academic outcomes in subsequent semesters.

New Teacher Center worked collaboratively with nine state coalitions - including governors, state education agencies, teacher associations, stakeholder groups and practitioners - to implement the Teaching, Empowering, Leading and Learning (TELL) survey statewide in nine states from the spring of 2012 to the spring of 2103. The TELL survey is a full-population survey of school-based licensed educators designed to report the perceptions about the presence of teaching and learning conditions that research has shown increase student learning and teacher retention.
The conditions assessed in the TELL survey include:
- Time
- Facilities and Resources
- Professional Development
- School Leadership
- Teacher Leadership
- Instructional Practices and Support
- Managing Student Conduct
- Community Support and Involvement
- New Teacher Support (for teachers in their first three years in the profession)
This report compares the results of the TELL survey at the state level across the country, providing an additional contextual lens for interpreting the results from each participating state to better understand their own findings.
