Cowan, James; Goldhaber, Dan; Jin, Zeyu; Theobald, Roddy – American Educational Research Journal, 2023
We investigate the predictive validity of teacher licensure tests using data from the Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure (MTEL). MTEL scores predict teachers' in-service performance ratings and contributions to student test scores (i.e., value added). We then explore whether these relationships vary for teacher candidates of color.…
