Abstract

Occupational licensing potentially benefits consumers by requiring workers minimum training but at the cost of reducing supply. We study this trade-off by evaluating the recent controversial roll-out of the educative Teacher Performance Assessment (edTPA) that raises the entry requirement of public school teachers – the largest licensed profession in the US. Leveraging the quasi-experimental setting of different adoption timing by states, we analyze multiple data sources containing a national sample of prospective teachers and students of new teachers. With extensive controls of concurrent policies, we find that the edTPA reduced prospective teachers in undergraduate programs and less selective and minority-concentrated universities. Testing various specifications and sample criteria, we do not find evidence that the new license standard increased student test scores.
美国公立学校的职业许可:教师绩效评估的全国实施
职业许可要求工人接受最低限度的培训,但以减少供应为代价,这可能对消费者有利。我们通过评估最近有争议的教育教师绩效评估(edTPA)的推出来研究这种权衡,该评估提高了公立学校教师(美国最大的许可职业)的入学要求。利用各州不同采用时间的准实验设置,我们分析了多个数据源,这些数据源包含了未来教师和新教师学生的国家样本。通过对并行政策的广泛控制,我们发现edTPA减少了本科项目的潜在教师,减少了选择性和少数民族集中的大学。测试各种规格和样本标准,我们没有发现证据表明新的许可证标准提高了学生的考试成绩。
