| Abstract | The purpose of this quantitative study was to analyze the effect of teacher absenteeism on student reading and math growth in second through sixth grade controlling for teacher and student variables to establish the impact of teacher absenteeism on student growth. In order to achieve this objective, the following research questions framed this study: (1)What was the effect of teacher absenteeism on student reading and math growth in second through sixth grades for the school years 2014-2015 through 2016-2017?; (2) Controlling for teacher-level variables (years of service and advanced degree), what was the effect of teacher absenteeism on student reading and math growth in second through sixth grades for the school years 2014-2015 through 2016-2017?; and (3) Controlling for student-level variables (student's socioeconomic status, gender, and ethnicity), what was the effect of teacher absenteeism on student reading and math growth in second through sixth grades for the school years 2014-2015 through 2016-2017? The relationship between teacher absenteeism and student growth was explored in the first analysis and no significant relationship was found. To further isolate the impact of absenteeism, teacher-level variables were added to control for years of service and degree status. Additional covariates did not change the inference regarding absenteeism; the results showed no significant relationship. The same result occurred when teacher absenteeism and student growth was explored when student-level variables of ethnicity, gender and socio-economic status were introduced. Ultimately, all three analyses produced consistent inferences that teacher absenteeism did not have a significant relationship with student growth. The study concludes with four recommendations for future research. The first recommendation is to explore further research on the effect of teacher absenteeism on student growth. The second recommendation is to conduct further research on the impact of substitute quality and training on student growth. The third area of exploration would be to continue studies on student growth gaps as it relates to student ethnicity. Finally, it is recommended that student growth as it relates to socio-economic status be further researched.
