Abstract

We document that recent generations of elementary school teachers are significantly more effective at raising math test scores for students than those from earlier generations. Measuring teachers’ value-added for Black and White students separately, the improvements in teaching for Black students are significantly larger than those seen for White students. For reading, we find no evidence of generational differences in either overall or race-specific teacher quality. The race-specific improvements in teacher quality in math are driven by White teachers. Our results suggest reason for optimism since these teacher quality differences should lead to improved student learning and a narrowing of the Black-White test score gap over time.
OK婴儿潮一代:教师素质的代际差异
我们证明,最近几代的小学教师在提高学生数学考试成绩方面比前几代教师明显更有效。分别衡量教师对黑人和白人学生的增值,黑人学生的教学改善明显大于白人学生。在阅读方面,我们没有发现任何证据表明在整体或种族特定的教师素质上存在代际差异。白人教师推动了不同种族数学教师素质的提高。我们的研究结果表明,随着时间的推移,这些教师素质差异应该会改善学生的学习,缩小黑人和白人的考试成绩差距,因此我们有理由感到乐观。
