Teacher and Teaching Effects on Students' Academic Performance, Attitudes, and Behaviors

Academic and life-long success. However, little is known about specific dimensions of 
Teaching practice that explain these relationships or whether these effects differ between 
Academic and “non-cognitive” outcomes. Drawing on data from teachers in four urban 
School districts, I document the relationship between individual teachers and students’ 
Math performance, as well as their self-reported self-efficacy in math, happiness in class, 
And behavior in class. In addition, I estimate the relationship between domains of 
Teaching practice captured by two observation instruments and the set of student 
Outcomes. Finally, I examine the predictive validity of teacher effect estimates on 
Students’ attitudes and behaviors amongst a subset of teachers who were randomly 
Assigned to class rosters within schools
