As a setup, I love this quote from a terrific James Matthew A. Kraft Papay paper: “Districts can take steps to improve teacher quality through the hiring process, but without improved screening and selection these efforts will fail to realize their full potential.” (p. 1040) 3/n

Are paraeducators a solution to school staffing challenges and can the paraeducator-to-teacher pipeline diversify the teacher workforce? Dr. Gema Zamarro (she/her) Josh B. McGee and I look for answers in our latest working paper. 🧵⬇️

These kinds of heterogeneity analyses are so important for understanding the impacts of any schooling intervention, but maybe especially COVID recovery efforts. Check out the y axis, these are big effects for students in the middle of the distribution! Nice work Danielle et al.!
