This is hopefully a useful reading for upper-level ug and graduate courses in econ of ed / ed policy / teacher policy classes! Enjoy.

It's a nontechnical review (ok fine I snuck in one equation) of several literatures an topics:

-value added
-classroom observations
-returns to teaching experience
-teacher diversity
-teacher training programs
-in-service PD
-teacher labor supply (and teacher absences)

probably some other things I am forgetting. looking through the references, lots of prolific tweeters are also prolific researchers. important work by

@MatthewAKraft @CEDR_US @david_blazar @Dr_ConstanceL @bakerdphd @BarbaraBiasi @ProfTDee @EmilyKPenner @EduGlaze @annaegalite

@JasonAGrissom @douglasharris99 @SteveBHolt @KiraboJackson @DrJingLiu @CoryKoedel @Redding

@TravisJBristol @sarena_goodman @s_delhommer @ShanyceCampbell

I even cite a few authors who are not on twitter.

also hopefully useful for school leaders and policy makers. and non-teacher ed researchers who want to see where things are.

one last random thing - this review is US centric, but I did try to include research from other countries when possible to show that many of the basic results are not unique to the US.

maybe someday I will do a thread highlighting these international studies.
