A study based on 233 Texas superintendents and 25 college registrars shows 64 percent reported finding qualified teachers before Gilmer-Aikin, now 25 percent. The paper notes a 50 percent rise in practice teaching enrollments and $400 annual salary increases, yet calls for more recruits from colleges to shift into teaching.
