| contents | Do worker absences affect productivity?: the case of teachers Raegen T. Miller Richard J. Murnane John B. Willett This article studies the impact of teacher absenteeism on education. Using data spanning three academic years on 285 teachers and 8,631 economically disadvantaged students from a United States urban school district, it tests assumptions that most teachers' absences are discretionary and reduce productivity, students' mathematics and reading scores. When a teacher is replaced by a less experienced substitute, instructional intensity and consistency may decline: ten days of teacher absence reduces students' achievement scores by about half a point. For some students, this could translate into a lower classification category, thus lowering their motivation to succeed. 10.1111/j.1564-913X.2008.00024.x DOI https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1564-913X.2008.00024.x publication.journalArticle |
