RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Teacher Effects on Complex Cognitive Skills and Social-Emotional Competencies JF Journal of Human Resources JO J Hum Resour FD University of Wisconsin Press SP 1 OP 36 DO 10.3368/jhr.54.1.0916.8265R3 VO 54 IS 1 A1 Kraft, Matthew A. YR 2019 UL http://jhr.uwpress.org/content/54/1/1.abstract AB I exploit the random assignment of class rosters in the MET Project to estimate teacher effects on students’ performance on complex open-ended tasks in math and reading, as well as their growth mindset, grit, and effort in class. I find large teacher effects across this expanded set of outcomes, but weak relationships between these effects and performance measures used in current teacher evaluation systems including value-added to state standardized tests. These findings suggest teacher effectiveness is multidimensional, and high-stakes evaluation decisions are only weakly informed by the degree to which teachers are developing students’ complex cognitive skills and social-emotional competencies.
