Grade Point Average and High School Background as Correlates of Teacher Effectiveness in Rural Settings.

DeRee, Hendricus G.; And Others

Journal of Rural and Small Schools, v1 n1 p15-16 Fall 1986

A study of 243 beginning teachers in Ohio rural settings explored relationships between teachers' effectiveness ratings and two preservice factors--undergraduate college grade point average and rural, suburban, or urban high school backgrounds. A highly significant relationship existed between grade point average and teacher effectiveness but not between background and effectiveness. (JHZ)
