1 "All teachers with an English main assignment" includes the subsample of high school-level teachers who reported a main assignment in communications, composition, English, journalism, language arts, reading, or speech. | |||||||||||||||
2 Minority enrollment data are collected at the school level and placed on the teacher file. In cases where the sampled school did not respond, data were imputed from the Common Core of Data (CCD). In some cases, CCD data were not available for the school's minority enrollment. A very small number of teachers from these schools are missing data for this variable. | |||||||||||||||
NOTE: Teachers include traditional public and public charter teachers who taught departmentalized classes to students in any of grades 10–12, or grade 9 and no grade lower. Included in the "Major in English" columns are all teachers, regardless of whether the major was earned within or outside the school/college of education. Majors in English are credited if they were earned at the bachelor's degree level or higher. "Certified in English" columns contain teachers with a regular/probationary certification in-subject and at the secondary level. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. | |||||||||||||||
