Learning Job Skills from Colleagues at Work: Evidence from a Field Experiment Using Teacher Performance Data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study on-the-job learning among classroom teachers, especially learning skills from coworkers, using data from a new field experiment, and document meaningful improvements in teacher job performance when high and low-performing teachers working at the same school are paired and asked to work together on improving the low-performer's skills.
