Experimenting With Teacher Professional Development: Motives and Methods
TL;DR: A strong base of research is needed to guide investments in teacher professional development (PD) and articulates a particular direction for future work as mentioned in this paper. But little is known about whether PD can have a positive impact on achievement when a program is delivered across a range of typical settings and when its delivery depends on multiple trainers.

Does Student Sorting Invalidate Value-Added Models of Teacher Effectiveness? An Extended Analysis of the Rothstein Critique. Working Paper 2009-01.
