Progress Through the Teacher Pipeline: 1992-93 College Graduates and Elementary/Secondary School Teaching as of 1997

This report is the second in a series of reports that follows 1992-93 college graduates' progress through the teacher pipeline using data from the Second Follow-up of the Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:93/97). The first report, entitled Out of the Lecture Hall and Into the Classroom: 1992-93 College Graduates and Elementary/Secondary School Teaching (NCES 96-899), focused on graduates' transitions into teaching 1 year after college graduation. This report focuses on the academic characteristics and preparation for teaching of those who took various steps toward teaching and is organized by a conceptual "teacher pipeline" that represents a teacher's career. The pipeline includes preparatory activities-considering teaching, student teaching as an undergraduate, becoming certified to teach, applying for teaching jobs-as well as teaching experiences and plans for teaching in the future.
