How and Why do Teacher Credentials Matter for Student Achievement?

Education researchers and policy makers agree that teachers differ in terms of quality and that quality matters for student achievement. Despite prodigious amounts of research, however, debate still persists about the causal relationship between specific teacher credentials and student achievement.

教育研究者与政策制定者均达成共识：教师质量存在个体差异，且教师质量对学生学业成就至关重要。尽管学界已开展大量研究，但针对特定教师资质与学生学业成就之间的因果关系，相关争论至今仍未停歇。
