Backes, Ben; Cowan, James; Goldhaber, Dan; Theobald, Roddy – National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER), 2023
This paper examines how different measures of teacher quality are related to students' long-run educational trajectories. We estimate teachers' "test-based" and "nontest" value-added (the latter based on contributions to student absences, suspensions, grade progression, and grades) and assess how these predict various student…

Comb, Meagan; Cowan, James; Goldhaber, Dan; Jin, Zeyu; Theobald, Roddy – National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER), 2021
States are responsible for setting and evaluating the standards that teacher preparation programs (TPPs) must meet for accreditation. Despite the considerable investment that states make in this process, no prior research has linked the ratings of TPPs generated by program reviews to inservice teacher performance. In this paper, we describe…

Jackson, C. Kirabo; Porter, Shanette C.; Easton, John Q.; Blanchard, Alyssa; Kiguel, Sebastián – National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER), 2020
Using value-added models, we find that high schools impact students' self-reported socio-emotional development (SED) by enhancing social well-being and promoting hard work. Conditional on schools' test score impacts, schools that improve SED, reduce school-based arrests, and increase high-school completion, college-going, and college persistence.…

Dan Goldhaber; James Cowan; Roddy Theobald – National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER), 2016
We use longitudinal data from Washington State to provide estimates of the extent to which performance on the edTPA, a performance-based, subject-specific assessment of teacher candidates, is predictive of the likelihood of employment in the teacher workforce and value-added measures of teacher effectiveness. While edTPA scores are highly…

Krieg, John; Goldhaber, Dan; Theobald, Roddy – National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER), 2018
We use comprehensive data on student teaching placements from 14 teacher education programs (TEPs) in Washington State to explore the sorting of teacher candidates to the teachers who supervise their student teaching ("cooperating teachers") and the schools in which student teaching occurs. We find that, all else equal, teachers with…

Koedel, Cory; Parsons, Eric; Podgursky, Michael; Ehlert, Mark – National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER), 2012
We compare teacher preparation programs in Missouri based on the effectiveness of their graduates in the classroom. The differences in effectiveness between teachers from different preparation programs are very small. In fact, virtually all of the variation in teacher effectiveness comes from within-program differences between teachers. Prior…
