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:

Coordinating Mathematical and Pedagogical Perspectives in Practice-Based and Discipline-Grounded Approaches to Studying Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (K-8).
TL;DR: In this article, three broad approaches to the problem of mathematical knowledge for teaching are discussed. But the main focus of the three approaches is on the study of practice, rather than the theoretical analysis.

University-Based Teacher Preparation and Middle Grades Teacher Effectiveness
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used four years of data from 15 middle grades teacher preparation programs and found that few requirements are positively associated with achievement gains in math and English/Language Arts.

Teacher Satisfaction and Turnover in Charter Schools: Examining the Variations and Possibilities for Collective Bargaining in State Laws
TL;DR: In this article, the possibilities and variations for collective bargaining by state and for different charter types (e.g., conversion vs newly created charters), as well as laws that have the potential to improve teacher satisfaction in charter schools are discussed.
Teachers’ Perceptions of Effective Student Support Systems by Availability of Student Support Facilitators
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined teachers' perceptions of student support system frameworks in a rural school district in a Mid-Atlantic state with a full-time or part-time student support facilitator.

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.

Teachers, Schools, and Academic Achievement
TL;DR: In this article, the authors disentangle the impact of schools and teachers in influencing achievement with special attention given to the potential problems of omitted or mismeasured variables and of student and school selection.

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.
