The purpose is to evaluate the impact of different methods of teacher preparation on teacher practices and student achievement.

The two cohorts will necessitate an additional year to obtain one-year follow-up information from each of the two cohorts; 3) Increase the data collection effort to include a teacher verbal ability measure (such as a SAT or ACT test score) and classroom observations of the teachers in the study; and 4) Investigate theoretical assumptions underlying relevant power calculations and nonexperimental ways to enhance power.
