But they did not find a consistent relationship between formal professional development training and teacher productivity, and they found no evidence that teachers' pre-service training or college entrance exam scores are related to productivity.About:

Generating Evidence: The Evaluation of the Teacher Continuous Professional Development Framework, in Case of Ethiopia
TL;DR: In this paper, a case study focused on identifying the key efficiency and performance indicators of the CPD program's accomplishments and to find support if its accomplishments produced valid and effective outcomes.
Impact of Professional Development in Response to Intervention on Secondary Teachers' Efficacy
TL;DR: Spence et al. as mentioned in this paper examined the effect of professional development in response to intervention on the perceived selfefficacy of secondary teachers and their ability to impact student achievement and found that a teacher's sense of efficacy can impact student academic outcomes.

Hierarchical Social Network Analysis Using a Multi-Agent System: A School System Case
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors designed an interaction-based similarity measure to accomplish hierarchical clustering in order to detect hierarchical structures in social networks e.g. school district networks, and they also built a model based on the MAXQ algorithm, to decompose the funding policy task into subtasks and then evaluate these subtasks by using funding distribution policies from past years and looking for possible relationships between student performances and funding policies.

Robust Inference with Multi-way Clustering
TL;DR: The authors proposed a variance estimator for the OLS estimator as well as for nonlinear estimators such as logit, probit, and GMM that enables cluster-robust inference when there is two-way or multiway clustering that is nonnested.
