The validity of several predictors was examined against multiple criteria of student program success. Subjects (N=437) were selected from about 800 students in the elementary teacher education program of a small California state university. Predictor variables for each subject included: (1) undergraduate grade point average (GPA); (2) subscale scores from the California Basic Education Skills Test; (3) prerequisite education course grades; and (4) composite scores from the National Teacher Examination (not available for all subjects). Criterion variables included: (1) grade in the curriculum and methods course taken during the last student teaching block; (2) two student teaching performance ratings; (3) positive and negative comments written on student teacher rating forms; and (4) successful completion of two quarters of student teaching. Multiple regression analysis enabled the assessment of the relative importance of the factors. The reading methods course grade and GPA functioned best as predictors of the performance criteria. Scores on the standardized tests were not significantly predictive. These results suggest that academic performance may be predictive of student teacher success, yet there is a need for further research. Three data tables are included. (SLD)
