Teacher Quality and Learning Outcomes in Kindergarten (2016, background): “On the other hand, Rockoff and Speroni (2010) find that subjective evaluations of teachers by mentors predict learning gains in 3rd through 8th grades in math and English in New York City, even after they condition on previous year value added.36 34 We thank Raj Chetty for suggesting this exercise.”
Effective teaching in elementary mathematics: Identifying classroom practices that support student achievement (2015, methodology): “This approach is similar to those taken by Jacob and Lefgren (2008), Rockoff, et al. (2012), and Rockoff and Speroni (2010), who used principal/mentor ratings of teacher effectiveness to predict future student achievement.”
Evaluating Students' Evaluations of Professors (2014, unknown): “Hence, in the remainder of the paper we use the two terms interchangeably.”
Searching for Effective Teachers with Imperfect Information (2010, background): “Rockoff and Speroni (2010) examined the achievement of students assigned to teachers recruited through an alternative certifi cation program—the New York City Teaching Fellows—and asked whether achievement gains were higher for students assigned to teachers rated as more attractive candidates by…”
Teacher Effects and Teacher-Related Policies (2014, background): “Readers familiar with this literature might ask what they might find here that has not been covered in other review articles, including our own previous writing (e.g., Hanushek & Rivkin 2010; Staiger & Rockoff 2010; Jackson 2012).”
Teacher applicant hiring and teacher performance: Evidence from DC public schools (2016, unknown): “…in both the short and long run (Chetty et al. 2014a,b) and, given this variation in teacher performance, some have argued that the greatest hiring cost faced by schools is the risk of exposing a group of students to a new teacher who turns out to be highly ineffective (Staiger and Rockoff, 2010).”
What Makes an Effective Teacher? Quasi-Experimental Evidence (2016, unknown): “A few recent studies found a relationship between a teacher‘s measured effect on student achievements and overall subjective administrator ratings (Jacob and Lefgren, 2005; Rockoff and Speroni, 2010; Rockoff, Jacob, Kane and Staiger, forthcoming).”
Evaluating Teacher Evaluation (2012, background): “…local districts, has been found both to produce ratings that reflect teachers’ effectiveness in supporting student learning gains and to improve teachers’ performance and their future effectiveness (Milanowski, Kimball & White, 2004; Milanowski, 2004; Rockoff & Speroni, 2010; Taylor & Tyler, 2011.)”
