Shedding Light on the Dark Side of Teacher Moonlighting.

Raffel, Jeffrey A.; Groff, Lance R.

Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v12 n4 p403-14 Win 1990

In 1988, survey responses of 92 teachers with and 208 teachers without outside employment were analyzed in Delaware as a followup to a 1986 survey. Many moonlighters had financial reasons for moonlighting; over half had other reasons for taking second jobs. Moonlighting did not inevitably signify teacher job dissatisfaction. (SLD)
