Abstract	Little is known about differences between traditional, university-based certification programs and alternative certification programs in terms of outcomes for students and teachers. Across all preparation pathways, however, too many early career teachers leave the field (over 40% within first five years). This attrition problem is likely to grow in the next few years with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors. Historically, one response to the growing teacher shortage in Texas has been the development of many different pathways into the profession for those wishing to enter PreK-12 classrooms--more teachers certified through alternative pathways than any other state by a considerable margin. This report provides a summary of findings from the educator preparation pathways study. The study includes two sets of analyses--one focused on student outcomes and one focused on teacher outcomes. Overall, the findings indicate that university-certified teachers had higher student learning and stayed longer in the field than alternatively certified teachers. (ERIC).
