The Collegial Focus and High School Students' Achievement.

Yasumoto, Jeffrey Y.; Uekawa, Kazuaki; Bidwell, Charles E.

Sociology of Education, v74 n3 p181-209 Jul 2001

Examines the consequences of teachers' collegial social relations for high school students' mathematics and science achievement. Uses data that focused on 3,000 subjects in a national sample of public high schools (n=52). Finds that when department faculties form collegial foci the effects of their instructional practices on students' achievement growth intensify. (CMK)
