[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] Teacher preparation study

[Lesley Farmer]

Teacher's certification method doesn't affect student scoresStudents of
educators who attend college teacher-training programs and those
instructed by teachers certified through other means score no
differently on standard reading and math exams, according to a new
study that tracked 2,600 students in six states. "When students are
placed with teachers with alternative routes versus traditional routes
[for certification], there's no harm in terms of student achievement,"
said Jill Constantine, who directed the study for Mathematica Policy
