Excited to share the 1st statewide look at uncertified teachers in TX and how they impact student achievement. #1 takeaway: 1/2 of new, first-time teachers are uncertified, & they are linked to declines in achievement. Link: shorturl.at/6T9q7

Results from this paper provide new evidence supporting national policy efforts to support Grow Your Own teacher pathways, and in the paper, we discuss important variation across urban, suburban, rural, and town contexts. We also explore different definitions of ‘hometown’ tchrs

Later cohorts of emergency licensed teachers were less effective (in terms of their impacts on students). It's a bit of a mystery as to why this is so, but shows the importance of not jumping the gun in reaching strong conclusions about licensure policy.

Beware the monetising and privatisation of teacher education. Or are we too late?
"…our results demonstrate meaningful variation in the demographic characteristics and retention outcomes of for-profit prepared novice teachers"

Another @AnnenbergInst Working Paper, this time with @edu_tuan
We examine @NCTResidencies to identify variation in teacher residency programs, participant beliefs, and if there are any associations between the two.
