Russ, Suzanne; Chiang, Berttram; Rylance, Billie Jo; Bongers, Joyce
Exceptional Children, v67 n2 p161-72 Win 2001
This article considers links between instructional group size and student engagement, caseload and academic achievement, and caseload and special educator attrition. Findings indicate larger caseload and group sizes negatively affect math and reading achievement, student engagement increases when group sizes decrease, and high teacher attrition and high caseloads appear correlated.
