We examine the sensitiv...
متن کاملAre Teacher-Level Value-Added Estimates Biased? An Experimental Validation of Non-Experimental Estimates
For more than three decades, analyses of non-experimental data have reported considerable heterogeneity in teacher impacts on student achievement. We use data from a random-assignment experiment in Los Angeles Unified School District to test the validity of various non-experimental specifications. To do so, we first generated estimates for a group of teachers during a pre-experimental period an...

This study examines the theoretical and practical implications of ranking teachers with a one-dimensional metric when teacher effectiveness varies across subjects or student types. We document the empirical failure of standard value-added assumptions of teacher input homogeneity, but demonstrate that previously suggested teacher firing policies still improve student welfare, although they resul...
