Teacher effects are post hoc predicted BLUE random effect estimates derived from a model using students’ actual teachers and controlling for classroom peer characteristics (Column 3 of Table 6). Value-added in math and ELA is the average of teacher effect estimates in math and ELA calculated by the MET Project using a standard covariate adjustment model and including all students in teachers’ classes regardless of whether students were part of the roster-randomization study. Scores from the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) and Framework for Teaching (FFT) are calculated using the first factor from a principal component analysis of the average domain-level scores across observations from each instrument. Student surveys are teacher-level averages of students’ average responses to the TRIPOD seven Cs survey items for all students with no missing responses. Principal ratings are from a single survey item asking principals to rate teachers on a six-point Likert scale ranging from very poor to exceptional.
