Teacher Credentials and Student Achievement: Longitudinal Analysis with Student Fixed Effects.
TLDR
This paper used a rich administrative dataset from North Carolina to explore questions related to the relationship between teacher characteristics and credentials on the one hand and student achievement on the other, concluding that a teacher's experience, test scores and regular licensure all have positive effects on student achievement, with larger effects for math than for reading.About:

Teacher Credentials and Student Achievement in High School: A Cross-Subject Analysis with Student Fixed Effects
TL;DR: This article examined the relationship between teacher credentials and student achievement at the high school level and found that uneven distribution of teacher credentials by race and socio-economic status of high school students contributes to achievement gaps in high school.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proposing a Core Set of Instructional Practices and Tools for Teachers of Science
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that if a defined set of subject-specific high-leverage practices could be articulated and taught during teacher preparation and induction, the broader teacher education community could collectively refine these practices as well as the tools and other resources that support their appropriation by novices across various learning-to-teach contexts.

The Impact of Individual Teachers on Student Achievement: Evidence from Panel Data
TL;DR: This paper found large and statistically significant differences among teachers: a one standard deviation increase in teacher quality raises reading and math test scores by approximately.20 and.24 standard deviations, respectively, on a nationally standardized scale.

Assessing the Effects of School Resources on Student Performance: An Update
TL;DR: The authors reviewed the available educational production literature, updating previous summaries, and showed that there is not a strong or consistent relationship between student performance and school resources, at least after variations in family inputs are taken into account.
