Abstract

Over the past ten years, we have noticed a baffling contradiction in our multiple-subject teacher credentialing programs. Although they are predominantly populated by female teacher candidates, it seemed that the majority requiring additional support and remediation, including those who did not complete the program, were male—at almost a ten-to-one ratio. Was this really the case? As a result, we examined the data of student teachers over the five year period from 2007 through 2011.
