The Distribution of Mathematics and Science Teachers across and within Secondary Schools.
Monk, David; Rice, Jennifer King
Educational Policy, v11 n4 p479-98 Dec 1997
Using 1987 Longitudinal Study of American Youth data, this study examined allocation of mathematics and science teachers' subject-area preparation levels across and within a national sample of American secondary schools. The study assessed relationships between average teacher-preparation levels and clientele socioeconomic status, school size, and internal collegiality measures. Teachers with differing levels of content preparation are systematically allocated. (21 references) (MLH)
