Bruhwiler, Christian; Blatchford, Peter – Learning and Instruction, 2011

Dieterle, Steven – ProQuest LLC, 2012
Prior research has established the potential for achievement gains from attending smaller classes. However, large statewide class-size reduction (CSR) policies have not been found to consistently realize such gains. A leading explanation for the disappointing performance of CSR policies is that schools are forced to hire additional teachers of…

Student ratings are not universally accepted as being reliable, nor can they provide really meaningful information. Qualitative comments can provide a better understanding but they tend not to be user-friendly…

Research has shown that there is no greater influence on a student's success than the quality of his or her teacher.
