1 Teacher Credentials and Student Achievement Presentation to Civil Rights Research Roundtable on Education March 10-11, 2011 Helen F. Ladd Duke University and CALDER 1
2 Key Questions Do teacher credentials affect student achievement? Lively policy debate Which credentials matter? Early work. Only agreement is teacher experience in the early years. Are the estimated effects large or small? Room for debate. Compared to what? Why relevant for policy? My particular concern: Uneven distribution of teachers as defined by their credentials across schools and students defined by race or poverty. 2
3 Research by Charles Clotfelter, Helen Ladd and Jacob Vigdor based on North Carolina data Teacher-student matching the assessment of teacher effectiveness. Journal of Human Resources, How and why teacher credentials matter for student achievement. CALDER and NBER working paper. Teacher credentials and student achievement: Longitudinal analysis with student fixed effects. Economics of Education Review, Teacher credentials and student achievement in high school: A cross subject analysis with student fixed effects. CALDER and NBER working paper; Journal of Human Resources,
4 NC Data Grades 3-8. End-of-grade (EOG) tests; math and reading. High school. End-of course (EOC) tests in 10 subjects (we use 5 subjects designed for grades 9 and 10). Linked to NC standard course of study At high school level, tests count for 25 percent of student s grade in the course. => incentive for teachers to teach the material and for students to learn it. But we can identify correct teachers only in grades 3-5 and in high school => no estimates for middle schools. 4
5 Key challenge: systematic sorting of teachers and students Strategies to address this problem Elementary level Cross sectional (5 th grade) include school fixed effects Longitudinal (3 rd, 4 th and 5 th grades) include student fixed effects High school Multiple subjects. Include student fixed effects. Note. All test scores are normalized by grade and year with mean 0 and standard deviation =1. Coefficients are fractions of a standard deviation. 5

12 Magnitude of the effects Bundles of characteristics add up the effects Elementary teachers. Strong vs. weak set of credentials Math to Reading to High school teachers 90 th to 10 th percentile of the predicted achievement distribution
13 Are the effects large or small? Large relative to reductions in class size. Comparable in magnitude to estimated effects of SES disadvantage except for elementary reading. But still a lot of unexplained variation in teacher effectiveness. 13
14 Policy implications Many credentials matter but not master s degrees at elementary level. Effects are relatively large Important because disadvantaged and minority students are far more likely than more advantaged students to have teachers with weak credentials. 14
15 Teachers with less than 3 years of experience Percent by poverty quartile and school level (NC data Quartile 1 is high poverty; quartile 4 is low poverty) Elementary Middle High 10 Quartile 1 Quartile 2 Quartile 3 Quartile 4 15
16 Teachers who are National Board Certified Percent by poverty quartile and school level (NC data Quartile 1 is high poverty; quartile 4 is low poverty ) 10 8 Elementary 6 Middle High 4 2 Quartile 1 Quartile 2 Quartile 3 Quartile 4 16
17 Algebra 1 Exposure of students by race to teachers with weak qualifications Probability of having teacher with given qualification. ( NC data; from Clotfelter, Ladd and Vigdor, 2010) Novice teacher Lateral entrant Teacher test score more than 1 s.d. below the mean Blacks Hispanics Whites Black males White females
18 Conclusion Many specific teacher credentials matter for student achievement Bundling of teacher characteristics can lead to quite large achievement effects Poor and minority students tend to have teachers with weaker qualifications than white or more affluent students. 18
19 Are the elementary school teacher effects large? Much larger than effects of class size Estimated effect of reducing class size by 5 students Math / Reading / More comparable to effects of parent education (model 2) Math Reading Parents are college grads (base) Parents are HS grads Parent are HS drop outs Compare teacher effects (model 5)
20 Standard value-added model Definition: A it = k + aa it-1 + b TQ it + c SC + error it where A = student achievement; and TQ = teacher qualifications SC = student characteristics Justification: Education is a cumulative process a = estimate of persistence of knowledge from one year to the next. a =1 => complete persistence (no decay) a = 0 => no persistence (100 percent decay) b = estimate of the effects of the qualifications of the student s teacher in year t on her achievement in year t. Alternative form. Gain = (A it -A it-1 ) = k + b TQ it + c SC it + error it 20
