Draper, Janet; Sharp, Stephen
Teaching and Teacher Education, v15 n8 p881-93 Nov 1999

Results found that 1-year program graduates were younger and completed their probation more quickly, while 4-year graduates were more diverse and brought a wider range of experience to the profession, with many of them embarking on teaching as a second career.
