Investing in the Teacher Workforce: Experimental Evidence on Teachers’ Preferences
Inadequate compensation is often viewed as the root of teacher workforce challenges despite teacher reports that working conditions matter more. Using an original discrete choice experiment with a national sample of 1,030 U.S. teachers, we found that support staff—special education specialists, counselors, and nurses—play an essential role in shaping teachers’ employment preferences. Teachers value access to these support staff more than they val…
How Teaching in Underserved Schools Affects Beliefs about Education Inequality and Reform
What effect does experience as a teacher—the street-level bureaucrat of the education system—have on one’s education policy opinions and beliefs? We consider the case of Teach For America (TFA), a prominent alternative teacher preparation provider with an admissions process that generates quasi-random variation in applicants’ likelihood of being a teacher. We leverage this variation using a regression discontinuity design and collect outcome data…

Theory suggests that teachers’ implicit racial attitudes affect their students, but large-scale evidence on U.S. teachers’ implicit biases and their correlates is lacking. Using nationwide data from Project Implicit, we found that teachers’ implicit White/Black biases (as measured by the implicit association test) vary by teacher gender and race. Teachers’ adjusted bias levels are lower in counties with larger shares of Black students. In the agg…
