Abstract

The impact of traditional and alternative teacher preparation programs on student achievement and the instructional delivery methods used in secondary school Algebra classrooms was explored through a mixed method comparative design. The research site was a high-need urban, majority-minority school system in partnership with a local university, a school-university partnership that offered a Transition To Teaching program. The data analyses revealed that alternative teacher preparation program is a viable avenue for meeting the needs of public schools for qualified and highly effective teachers in mathematics classrooms at the middle school and high school levels. Disaggregated data from the standardized state test and district level quarterly assessments revealed that student achievement in the alternatively trained teacher classrooms did not significantly vary from that of student achievement in the traditionally trained teacher classrooms.
