Do Higher Program Admission Standards Alter Profiles of Entering Teacher Candidates?

Freeman, Donald J.; And Others

Journal of Teacher Education, v40 n3 p33-41 May-Jun 1989

Entry-level characteristics of teacher candidates who satisfied higher program admissions standards were compared with those of candidates who did not. Those who met the standards scored higher on most, but not all, measures of achievement. The two groups expressed similar educational beliefs and levels of commitment to teaching. (Author/IAH)
