The Enduring Effects of Small Classes.
Finn, Jeremy D.; Gerber, Susan B.; Achilles, Charles M.; Boyd-Zaharias, Jayne
Teachers College Record, v103 n2 p145-83 Apr 2001
Used Tennessee Project STAR data to examine the impact of the duration of participation in small classes on K-3 students' later school performance. Year in which students started and number of years they participated in small classes were important mediators of benefits gained. Starting early and continuing for at least 3 years were necessary to ensure long-term carryover effects. (SM)
