Analysis of teacher characteristics linked to race-specific value-added in Chicago Public Schools data; the brief reports that experience and master's degrees raised scores for all students "but much less for Black students," while other characteristics were not strongly related to differential effectiveness.

"Experienced teachers and those with a master's degree increased everyone's test scores, but much less for Black students."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Race and Ethnicity — moderator: an instructional effect differs by group

Related Claims¶

• Having a teacher highly effective for Black students shows no detrimental effect on non-Black students' test scores — related
• Teacher effectiveness for Black students is only imperfectly correlated with effectiveness for non-Black students (correlations between 0.28 and 0.67 depending on subject and grade level) — related
• Race-specific value-added scores predict teachers' subsequent effects: Black students taught by a teacher with high prior effectiveness for Black students show gains of about one standard deviation when the teacher moves schools or grades — related
