The purposes of this study were (1) to explore the aforementioned differences in quality ratings of courses and instructors and (2) to examine what items on the student evaluation instrument could be used to identify salient constructs that are most necessary to meet the needs of Teach For America (TFA) students. The participants were TFA students who were teaching on an alternative teaching certificate, as compared with traditional students who were enrolled in the same methods courses with the same instructors. The findings reveal that TFA students did in fact rate their courses and instructors significantly lower than did their non-TFA peers.
