Cowan, James; Goldhaber, Dan; Jin, Zeyu; Theobald, Roddy – National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER), 2020
We use teacher candidate test scores on the Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure (MTEL), linked to student and teacher outcomes in the state, to investigate the predictive validity of these teacher licensure tests. We find that MTEL scores are positive and statistically significant predictors of teachers' in-service performance ratings and…
