The Impact of Alternative Certification on the Elementary and Secondary Public Teaching Force.
Shen, Jiaping
Journal of Research and Development in Education, v32 n1 p9-16 Fall 1998
Investigated the cumulative effects of alternative certification (AC) on the public school teaching force and the comparative characteristics of teachers certified traditionally and alternatively. Data from the 1993-94 national Schools and Staffing Survey indicated that AC had mixed results in terms of fulfilling its promises, with some of the benefits argued by its proponents not materializing in practice.
