Does Teacher Preparation Matter? Teacher Certification, Teach for America, and Teacher Effectiveness
In the face of recent debates about whether teacher education makes a difference to teacher quality, a new large-scale study shows that certified teachers consistently produce significantly stronger student achievement gains than do uncertified teachers. The results are especially important to many urban and poor rural districts which, as a result of high teacher demand, have hired a growing number of individuals on emergency permits or waivers who lack formal preparation for teaching. Typically, these teachers teach low income and minority students in the most disadvantaged schools. (April 2005)
