Notes:
↵* p < 0.05. Each cell presents results from a separate regression of the value-added estimate for the teacher students were randomly assigned to by MET Project researchers on a given student characteristic. Value-added estimates are calculated by the MET Project using a standard covariate adjustment model and can be interpreted in student standard deviation units. The standard deviations of the teacher effects from prior years are 0.226 for math, 0.170 for ELA, 0.211 for BAM, and 0.255 for SAT9-OE.
