Teacher efficacy, school reform, and state tests.
Abstract
This study examined relationships among school reform, teacher efficacy, and passage rates on state math and reading tests. 1,101 teachers from 59 elementary schools were surveyed, and ten were interviewed. Reports of effective implementation of reforms were positively related to improvement in passage rates on state tests, while teachers' efficacy helping difficult students was negatively related. Interviewees asserted that passage rates do not capture the academic progress of difficult students, because students are so far behind that progress did not equate with passing scores.
