  • Notes: a. All estimates come from variations of the full model reported in Table 3. See text for explanation. Each of the subject-specific test scores apply only to the relevant subject. Also included in the models are indicator variables by subject for teachers who have not taken a test in the specified subject. ** signifies statistical significance at the 0.01 level; * at the 0.05 level; and + at the 0.10 level. All errors are clustered at the classroom level.
