TLDR
In this article, the effects of various types of education and training on the productivity of teachers in promoting student achievement were studied. 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:

Effect of Perceived Self-Efficacy and Certification on Teachers of Students with Emotional Disabilities Exhibiting Behaviors
TL;DR: In this paper, a causal-comparative study was conducted to test the construct of selfefficacy grounded in the social cognitive theory and compare a teachers' route to licensure (traditional or alternative) to perceived self-efficacy for special education teachers of students with emotional disabilities exhibiting challenging behaviors.

Do Charter Schools Alleviate the Negative Effect of Teacher Turnover
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors test the hypothesis that the labor practices in charter schools, in particular their ability to easily dismiss poorly performing teachers, contribute to poor performance of teachers in public schools.

Impact Evaluation Using Analysis of Covariance With Error-Prone Covariates That Violate Surrogacy:
TL;DR: Asymptotic results for ANCOVA with error-prone covariates that cover a variety of cases relevant to applications are derived and evidence that estimates of teacher effects computed using EIV regression may have smaller bias than estimates computed using OLS regression when the data available for adjusting for students' prior achievement are limited is found.

Does Pre-Service Teacher Preparation Affect Students’ Academic Performance? Evidence from China
TL;DR: In this paper , a multi-tier linear model was used to estimate the pre-service teacher preparation effects on student performance by taking teachers and students in the high schools of Haidian District, Beijing, China, as the research population.

TL;DR: The authors disentangles the separate factors influencing achievement with special attention given to the role of teacher differences and other aspects of schools, and estimates educational production functions based on models of achievement growth with individual fixed effects.

The Economics of Schooling: Production and Efficiency in Public Schools.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors point out that public and professional interest in education is likely to be short-lived, doomed to dissipate as frustration over the inability of policy to improve school practice sets in.

Effects of Teachers’ Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching on Student Achievement:
TL;DR: It is found that teachers’ mathematical knowledge was significantly related to student achievement gains in both first and third grades after controlling for key student- and teacher-level covariates.

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.
