Does Categorical Teacher Certification Benefit the Mildly Handicapped Child?
Marston, Douglas
Exceptional Children, v53 n5 p423-31 Feb 1987
Learning disabled (N=78) and educable mentally retarded (N=47) elementary students, when taught by teachers whose certification matched child label, did not make significantly greater gains than when instructed by teachers with licenses not matching pupil label. The data support a noncategorical service delivery model with implications for student identification and teacher training. (Author/JW)
