Tackling the challenges of measuring the impact that teachers and principals have on their students

[Elias Walsh @FGEliasW]

Excited to share my paper on principal replacements in DCPS with Dallas Dotter in Ed Finance & Policy.

This is different: a study of teacher value added using genetics data https://t.co/Js6Z3Kw1cG

How closely related are teacher ratings on "multiple measures" evaluation rubrics and their students' subsequent post-secondary performance? Evidence from Pittsburgh https://t.co/hnUqXBKd7r

Can you measure the impact of teachers on students ("value added") with just grade span testing? These researchers tried. https://t.co/N6Y6bsGt06

[Rick Miller @rmiller25]

Measuring growth in test scores is key to understanding student progress https://t.co/55AhFYb9jf via @edsource. Check out my op ed with @SuptMartinez on why growth matters for improvement.

It's important to account for student disadvantage when measuring impact of educators. @esparsons , @CoryKoedel and Li Tan dig into methods for using imperfect measures of disadvantage https://t.co/T8Z7tFJ4lG

[Matt Barnum @matt_barnum]

Three studies out this year suggest good teachers are also good mentors of student teachers https://t.co/4Ks7vxRcAp

[David Blazar @david_blazar]

My article out in EFP, AND currently accessible to all! Bottom line: teachers have large effects on student test scores and range of social/emotional outcomes. 1/2 https://t.co/DarRe3Wufh

[David Evans @DaveEvansPhD]

Is it possible to measure the impact of teacher knowledge on student performance without longitudinal student results? https://t.co/HDTmYyAs6G @TessaBold @Deon_Filmer @Eze_TEACH & Svensson propose that it is.

VisualizED, new blog series on #dataviz in education discusses how not to compare schools to benchmarks, by @mikia_manley https://t.co/oNsj2V6Hk8

[Educator Impact Lab @EdImpactLab]

This mechanism, sort of obvious, works when you measure educator performance well. https://t.co/lVbTVLOw8c

[C. Kirabo Jackson @KiraboJackson]

My best attempt to show why performance-based pay is more likely to increase teacher quality than blanket pay raises....with an animated GIF. #edpolicy @Thomas_S_Dee

[Educator Impact Lab @EdImpactLab]

Important descriptive study of #SEL skills from CA CORE districts. Large cross-section. This will be great when we start to accumulate longitudinal data for growth analysis, although current data suggest "growth" might not be right term. https://t.co/7EgiHsve2u

[Martin West @ProfMartyWest]

I have a new working paper and policy brief out today on "Trends in Student Social-Emotional Learning: Evidence from the @COREdistricts" with colleagues from @edpolicyinca and @AnalyticsEA: https://t.co/wWWCezlYFr

How does principal effectiveness impact schools? New TERA brief explores important key findings about the influence of school leadership. https://t.co/lBqWrL6nb8
