Economic Analysis and the Design of Alternative-Route Teacher Education Programs

Abstract: Few studies have addressed the effects of teacher education generally, no less the specific program elements necessary to prepare competent and caring teachers. As a result, to address teacher shortages in science, mathematics, and special education, alternatives to traditional preparation have been proposed, and their development has proceeded apace. In the absence of guidance from research, alternative program designs have dramatically varied, even on such fundamental considerations as program length and the… Show more

“…Especially within rural areas, geographic barriers limit access to postsecondary education, thereby justifying the need for alternative programs which are delivered in off-campus settings (Sindelar et al, 2018). The development of ATP programs also has been used to address different needs, such as allowing school personnel to pursue their credential while on the job or to fast track the certification process for unendorsed teachers (Dai et al, 2007).…”

“…Mid-career professionals offer the opportunity to attract and recruit mature, adult individuals with life experience in areas outside of education. An additional benefit of targeting this market is that the number of potential recruits is almost limitless (Dai et al, 2007).…”

“…Path analysis is a method that allows for computing indirect and direct effects in a specifically longitudinal pathway as opposed to advanced regression correlational relationships to outcome variable(s). Our desire is to advance the field methodologically, open dialog for future research, and consider recommendations to strengthen TPP designs and outcomes in both mathematics teacher education and teacher education in general as a result of nearly 20 years of work calling on better TPP coherence and study depth of TPP models (Cochran-Smith, 2004; Dai et al, 2007; Darling-Hammond, 2006; Henry et al, 2012; Tatto et al, 2016). The field has moved slowly on program design research and effective, high-quality evaluation (Tatto, 2018), and we recognize that external critiques and examinations will continue to influence teacher education.…”
