Abstract Details

2011, Master of Education, University of Toledo, Education Theory and Social Foundations.
This study uses data from 19 teachers in an underperforming, urban, low-income charter school located in the Midwest to examine the backgrounds and attitudes of the teaching staff. The data collected provides possible areas of improvement for this school. It can be assumed that these results are not unique to this building, but rather indicative of what is taking place in schools throughout our nation. Therefore, this small study can be used to identify ways to improve practices in order to better meet the needs of students who have been historically underserved in schools throughout the country. Some key findings from this study indicate the following: there could be a correlation between student achievement and teacher background; colleges of education may not be adequately preparing pre-service teachers; and there may be a lack of access to curricular materials that represent the student population.
