About

The Department for Education awarded a contract to NFER for the evaluation of the Tailored Support Programme (TSP) across the academic years 2017-18 to 2019-20.

The evaluation aimed to assess perceptions of the TSP, particularly the specific strands of support offered to schools for improving teacher recruitment and retention among school leaders and teachers who participated in the Programme, and to identify 'what works' in addressing teacher supply and in what context.

The evaluation followed five key phases: inception and developing detailed logic models for individual strands of the TSP; online surveys with headteachers/senior leaders and teachers (including a focus on early careers teachers); qualitative interviews with headteachers/senior leaders and teachers (including a focus on early careers teachers); longitudinal case-study visits; and analysis.

The sample size for online surveys, interviews and case studies was dependent on the number of schools that engaged in the TSP.

The contract value was AUD 289,440.
