Teacher Aides and Students' Academic Achievement.
Gerber, Susan B.; Finn, Jeremy D.; Achilles, Charles M.; Boyd-Zaharias, Jayne
Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v23 n2 p123-43 Sum 2001
Studied whether the presence of a teacher aide in the classroom has noticeable impact on student learning using data for more than 6,300 students in 79 Tennessee schools. Findings suggest that teachers' aides have little, if any, positive effects on student learning. Results also indicate that many aides are required to perform tasks for which they have inadequate preparation. (SLD)
