Lots of other cool analyses in the paper. For example, what are the intended majors of people most demographically and academically similar to those intending to teach?

We also find that PST skill gaps are related to more distal labor market outcomes:
1️⃣ PSTs flagged for lesson planning score worse on certification exams
2️⃣ PSTs flagged for classroom management or student engagement are less likely to return to their placement school as teachers.

These areas for improvement are related to PST clinical performance:
📉 Classroom management feedback → lower observation scores
📈 Differentiation feedback → higher scores

What do we find?
❌ Fewer than half of supervisor evaluations include areas for improvement or next steps.
✅ In contrast, PST reflections usually include all four quality indicators.
