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:

Bootstrap-Based Improvements for Inference with Clustered Errors
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate inference using cluster bootstrap-t procedures that provide asymptotic refinement, including the example of Bertrand, Duflo, and Mullainathan.

Teacher Preparation and Student Achievement
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of features of teachers' preparation on teachers' value-added to student test score performance in math and English Language Arts were investigated. And they found that preparation directly linked to practice appears to benefit teachers in their first year.

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.

Peer Effects in the Classroom: Learning from Gender and Race Variation
TL;DR: The authors identify the effects of peers whom a child encounters in the classroom using sources of variation that are credibly idiosyncratic, such as changes in the gender and racial composition of a grade in a school in adjacent years.

Robust Inference with Multi-Way Clustering
TL;DR: This article proposed a new variance estimator for OLS as well as for nonlinear estimators such as logit, probit and GMM, that provcides cluster-robust inference when there is two-way or multi-way clustering that is non-nested.

Bootstrap-Based Improvements for Inference with Clustered Errors
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate more accurate inference using cluster bootstrap-t procedures that provide asymptotic refinement for regression parameter estimates, and evaluate these procedures using Monte Carlos, including the much-cited di ¤erences-in-di¤erences example of Bertrand, Mullainathan and Duflo.

TL;DR: In 20 elementary schools participating in the Los Angeles School Preferred Reading Program, gains'in reading achievement were examined"in order to identify school and classroom policies that were most successful in raising reading scores of inner-city.children as discussed by the authors.

Teacher Quality in Educational Production: Tracking, Decay, and Student Achievement
TL;DR: This paper developed falsification tests for three widely used value added modeling (VAM) specifications based on the idea that future teachers cannot influence students' past achievement and found that each of the VAMs' exclusion restrictions are dramatically viola ted.
