Abstract	Schools in rural communities face many challenges in retaining effective teachers, many of which are beyond school leaders' control: need for educators to serve multiple roles, lower teacher salaries, and large percentages of students from low-income backgrounds. However, cultivating a school culture where teachers are supported to be effective can positively impact teacher retention and improve student outcomes -- and that shift is one that school leaders can influence. This study, Elevating Teacher Effectiveness in a Rural Community, examines the impact of a federal Teacher Incentive Fund grant award that expanded a partnership between Cross County School District and the National Institute for Excellence in Teaching (NIET) to create systems that support ongoing, continuous improvement for teachers. Through the implementation of the TAP System for Teacher and Student Advancement, the district is implementing a coherent and integrated set of strategies rooted in a common vision for instructional excellence. Results from the first three years of the grant indicate progress towards increasing teacher collegiality, improving teacher effectiveness, increasing teacher retention, and impacting student achievement.
