Teacher turnover and teacher shortages: An organizational analysis
- American Educational Research Journal
, 2001
"... Contemporary educational theory holds that one of the pivotal causes of inadequate school performance is the inability of schools to adequately staff classrooms with qualified teachers. Contemporary theory also holds that these staffing problems are primarily due to shortages of teachers, which, in ..."

, in turn, are primarily due to recent increases in teacher retirements and student enrollments. This analysis investigates the possibility that there are other factors that might have an impact on teacher turnover levels, and, in turn, the staffing problems of schools, factors rooted in the organizational
Experimental Estimates of Education Production Functions
- Princeton University, Industrial Relations Section Working Paper No. 379
, 1997
"... This paper analyzes data on 11,600 students and their teachers who were randomly assigned to different size classes from kindergarten through third grade. Statistical methods are used to adjust for nonrandom attrition and transitions between classes. The main conclusions are (1) on average, performa ..."

The Impact of Individual Teachers on Student Achievement: Evidence From Panel Data
, 2003
"... Teacher quality is widely believed to be important for education, despite little ev-idence that teachers ’ credentials matter for student achievement. To accurately measure variation in achievement due to teachers ’ characteristics–both observ-able and unobservable–it is essential to identify teache ..."

I find large and statistically significant differences among teachers: a one standard deviation increase in teacher
The Emerging Field of Emotion Regulation: An Integrative Review
- Review of General Psychology
, 1998
"... The emerging field of emotion regulation studies how individuals influence which emotions they have, when they have them, and how they experience and express them. This review takes an evolutionary perspective and characterizes emotion in terms of response tendencies. Emotion regulation is defined a ..."

In the increasingly specialized discipline of psychology, the field of emotion regulation cuts across traditional boundaries and provides common ground. According to a process model of emotion regulation, emotion may be regulated
Stories of experience and narrative inquiry
- Educational Researcher
, 1990
"... Although narrative inquiry has a long intellectual history both in and out of education, it is increasingly used in studies of educational experience. One theory in educational research holds that humans are storytelling organisms who, individually and socially, lead storied lives. Thus, the study o ..."

The Wake-Sleep Algorithm for Unsupervised Neural Networks
, 1995
"... We describe an unsupervised learning algorithm for a multilayer network of stochastic neurons. Bottom-up "recognition" connections convert the input into representations in successive hidden layers and top-down "generative" connections reconstruct the representation in one layer ..."

Supervised learning algorithms for multilayer neural networks face two problems: They require a teacher to specify
A Fine is a Price.”
- Journal of Legal Studies
, 2000
"... Abstract The deterrence hypothesis predicts that the introduction of a penalty that leaves everything else unchanged will reduce the occurrence of the behavior subject to the fine. We present the result of a field study in a group of day-care centers that contradicts this prediction. Parents used t ..."

As a result, the number of late-coming parents increased significantly. After the fine was removed no reduction occurred. We argue that penalties are usually
Can Teachers Increase Student Self-Regulation in Elementary Physical Education? What Was the Question?
