Goldhaber, Dan; Gratz, Trevor; Theobald, Roddy – Center for Education Data & Research, 2016
We investigate the predictive validity of teacher credential test scores for student performance in secondary STEM classrooms in Washington state. After replicating earlier findings that teacher basic skills licensure test scores are a modest and statistically significant predictor of student math test score gains in elementary grades, we focus on…

Clotfelter, Charles T.; Ladd, Helen F.; Vigdor, Jacob L. – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2012
In 2002/03, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools in North Carolina initiated a broad program of accelerating entry into algebra coursework. The proportion of moderately-performing students taking algebra in 8th grade increased from half to 85%, then reverted to baseline levels, in the span of just five years. We use this policy-induced variation to…

Pullman, Howard W. – 1979
A selection of 14 tests of five cognitive factors was administered to 95 senior high school geometry students. These cognitive factors were then related to six measures of performance in mathematics and subjected to correlation analysis and stepwise regression. The findings indicated that the selected cognitive factors correlated with all measures…
