Working paper alert 🚨 x3!

I am excited to share 3 working papers that all show positive—and often very large—effects on ed outcomes of Black, Hispanic, and Asian educators of color, including teachers, sch prof staff (e.g., admins, nurses), and instructional coaches.

🧵
1/11 Paper 1 is an experiment with grade 4/5 tchrs randomly assigned to classes. Tchrs of color impact stu test scores (+0.25SD), self-efficacy (+0.45SD), engagement (+0.3SD), and chronic absences (-4pp). Effects persist 6 years later in high school.
