| Abstract | Data from the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) for the 1999-2000 school year were examined to determine the similarities and differences between Michigan's charter and traditional school teachers. Data reveal that charter school teachers are much less likely to have appropriate certification than their counterparts in traditional public schools. The NCES data suggest that charter school teachers are less qualified in other important ways as well. Charter school teachers are more likely to have graduated from less competitive or noncompetitive undergraduate institutions than traditional school teachers. Data also show that more than 56% of traditional public school teachers have master's degrees, compared with 21.8% of charter school teachers. This is mainly a function of experience; a large majority of charter school teachers have less than 5 years experience and are less likely to have earned a master's degree. There are very few traditional school teachers in Michigan who are not certified in their main teaching assignment, but more than one-quarter of charter school teachers are not certified in their main assignments. More than one-third of secondary level teachers in charter schools are teaching "out of field." The average charter school teacher earns less than the average teacher in a traditional public school, even when salaries are adjusted to reflect differing experience levels. Charterschools are having more success than traditional schools in meeting the challenge of finding teachers who reflect the increasingly diverse demographics of their students. It is concluded that students in charter schools are generally taught by less qualified teachers than students in traditional public schools. (SLD) |
