Abstract	The paper presents results from the evaluation of the Teach for Bulgaria (TFB) program, which is part of the Teach for All global network. TFB activities have relevance for a variety of fast-track pathways to the teaching profession. The evaluation is based on a quasi-experimental assessment of teacher performance through student value-added scores. Value added is estimated using the full datasets from successive standardized state examinations in Bulgaria after grades 4, 7 and 12. We found that TFB had most significant impact in mathematics and natural sciences which tends to be stronger in smaller schools and schools with disadvantaged students. The teacher recruitment system designed by TBF was also quite good in predicting teacher performance in mathematics and natural sciences but was not predictive of value added in humanities and language teaching.
