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…
