Student Ethnicity and Teachers’ Subjective Assessments (2011, neutral): “Based on such factors, previous research suggests that biases in teachers’ grading practices may harm certain groups of students, depending on their sex, ethnicity, or socio-economic status (Dee, 2004; Dee, 2007; Figlio, 2005; Lavy, 2004; Lindahl, 2007; Ouazad, 2008).”
The Effects of Teacher Match on Students’ Academic Perceptions and Attitudes (2017, methodology): “Additional gaps exist across gender lines, with female students often outperforming male students in reading, and male students often outperforming females in science and math (Dee, 2007; Robinson & Lubienski, 2011).”
Is a Good Teacher a Good Teacher for All? Comparing Value-Added of Teachers With Their English Learners and Non-English Learners (2014, background): “With some exceptions, few studies have assessed the relative effectiveness of teachers with different types of students (Aaronson, Barrow, & Sander, 2007; Dee, 2005, 2007; Lockwood & McCaffrey, 2009; Loeb & Candelaria, 2012).”
Is Traditional Teaching Really All That Bad? A Within-Student Between-Subject Approach (2011, methodology): “In our headline specification we follow Dee (2005, 2007) by assuming that coefficients for each variable are equal across the two subjects:7 ∆Yi = ∆T ′ iβ3 + ∆TP ′ iβ4 + ηi.”
Gender Stereotypes in the Classroom and Effects on Achievement (2017, positive): “See also Hanushek and Rivkin (2006) and Schwerdt & Wuppermann (2011). female students (Bettinger & Long, 2005; Dee, 2007; Hoffmann & Oreopoulos, 2009; Carrell, Page, & West, 2010; Antecol, Ozkan, & Ozbeklik, 2014).”

Race, Gender, and Teacher Testing: How Informative a Tool Is Teacher Licensure Testing? (2010, background): “Dee (2005, 2007) finds that student gender does play a significant role in teachers’ perceptions of student performance, student test scores, and student engagement in academic subjects; he estimates that same-gender matching accounts for approximately 0.05 standard deviations in student performanc”
Teachers’ Bias Against the Mathematical Ability of Female, Black, and Hispanic Students (2019, background): “…2009b], and 0.05 SDs in high school [Buddin & Zamarro, 2009a]; see also Ouazad, 2008), while others find no statistically significant or significant but negative effects of gender matching on mathematics achievement (Buddin & Zamarro, 2009c; Dee, 2007; Ehrenberg, Goldhaber, & Brewer, 1995).”
Econometric methods for causal evaluation of education policies and practices: a non‐technical guide (2011, background): “By including student fixed effects, these studies can account for any type of unobserved student characteristics that affects different subjects in the same way and estimate the effect of teacher characteristics or teaching practices not across but within students (see Dee 2005 , 2007 ; Ammermulle”
