However, data limitations have led to considerable uncertainty and conflicting reports about the nature of staffing challenges in schools.

Edwards, Danielle Sanderson; Kraft, Matthew A.; Christian, Alvin; Candelaria, Christopher A. – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2022
We develop a unifying conceptual framework for understanding and predicting teacher shortages at the state, region, district, and school levels. We then generate and test hypotheses about geographic, grade level, and subject variation in teacher shortages using data on teaching vacancies in Tennessee during the fall of 2019. We find that teacher…

Kraft, Matthew A.; Bleiberg, Joshua F. – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2021
Economic downturns can cause major funding shortfalls for U.S. public schools, often forcing districts to make difficult budget cuts including teacher layoffs. In this brief, we synthesize the empirical literature on the widespread teacher layoffs caused by the Great Recession. Studies find that teacher layoffs harmed student achievement and were…

Kraft, Matthew A.; Marinell, William H.; Yee, Darrick – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2015
In education, there is ample evidence that some schools far outperform others at raising student achievement even when accounting for differences in the students they serve and the resources at their disposal. Differences in the human capital stock of teachers across schools cannot fully account for the differential productivity across schools. In…

Kraft, Matthew A.; Marinell, William H.; Shen-Wei Yee, Darrick – American Educational Research Journal, 2016
We study the relationship between school organizational contexts, teacher turnover, and student achievement in New York City (NYC) middle schools. Using factor analysis, we construct measures of four distinct dimensions of school climate captured on the annual NYC School Survey. We identify credible estimates by isolating variation in…

Papay, John P.; Kraft, Matthew A.; Bloom, Julia; Buckley, Kate; Liebowitz, David – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2013
While there are many reasons why late hiring may affect student achievement, no empirical studies have documented this effect in practice. This paper presents the first estimates of the direct impact of late hiring on students' academic achievement, sheds light on two competing explanations for the struggles of late-hire teachers advanced in the…

Johnson, Susan Moore; Kraft, Matthew A.; Papay, John P. – Teachers College Record, 2012
Background/Context: Educational policy makers have begun to recognize the challenges posed by teacher turnover. Schools and students pay a price when new teachers leave the profession after only 2 or 3 years, just when they have acquired valuable teaching experience. Persistent turnover also disrupts efforts to build a strong organizational…
