在有关教师质量的文献中，最一致的发现之一是教师随着经验的增加而提高，特别是在最初的几年里。本研究通过分别确定一般教学经验和特定课程熟悉度的益处来扩展这项研究。我发现，具体的和一般的人力资本都有助于教师的进步，而且最近的具体经历比遥远的具体经历更有价值。这篇文章还有助于更广泛地研究人力资本获取，因为它是第一批使用直接衡量生产率的方法来检验人力资本专用性的文献之一。
One of the most consistent findings in the literature on teacher quality is that teachers improve with experience, especially in the first several years. This study extends this research by separately identifying the benefits of general teaching experience and specific curriculum familiarity. I find that both specific and general human capital contribute to teacher improvement and that recent specific experience is more valuable than distant specific experience. This paper also contributes to a broader literature on human capital acquisition, as it is among the first to examine human capital specificity using a direct measure of productivity.
