We study the returns to experience in teaching, estimated using supervisor ratings from classroom observations. We describe the assumptions required to interpret changes in observation ratings over time as the causal effect of experience on performance. We compare two difference-in-differences strategies: the two-way fixed effects estimator common…

"Who am I as a teacher in a new country?" migrant…

Recently, teacher preparation programs have reported lower enrollment trends, and K-12 schools have reported higher attrition rates.
