This is, in part, because predicting teacher quality using readily-observable teacher characteristics has proven difficult and there is…

Rosas, Clarissa; Campbell, Lisa – Teacher Education and Special Education, 2010
The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) mandates that every classroom be staffed with a "highly qualified teacher." Research supports that teachers' content knowledge affects student achievement. However, the special education population continues to be taught by teachers who do not have the content area background they teach. In addition,…

Jepsen, Christopher; Rivkin, Steven – Public Policy Institute of California, 2002
Intuitively, class size reduction is a good idea. Parents support it because it means that their children will receive more individual attention from teachers. Teachers like it for the same reason and also because it creates a more manageable workload. It is generally assumed that the fewer students in a class, the better they will learn and the…
