The Relationship of Teachers' Spanish Proficiency to Pupils' Achievement.

Merino, Barbara J.; And Others

NABE: The Journal for the National Association for Bilingual Education, v3 n2 p21-37 Win 1979

A test measuring the teachers' Spanish proficiency was developed as part of a battery of tests for teachers in bilingual education programs--the CERAS Teacher Tests for Spanish/English Bilingual Education. Two independent studies indicated that the relationship between pupils' achievement in Spanish and English and their teachers' Spanish proficiency is a strong one. (Author/NQ)
