Bruch, Sarah; Grigg, Jeffrey; Hanselman, Paul – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2010
This study focuses on how the treatment effects of a teacher professional development initiative in science differed by school capacity. In other words, the authors are primarily concerned with treatment effect heterogeneity. As such, this paper complements ongoing evaluation of the average treatment effects of the initiative over time. The…
