- Summary:
-
Focusing on the teaching of reading, this study investigated the educational preparation, teaching practices, and personal attitudes of English teachers in public high schools throughout the United States. Questionnaires were mailed to 2004 randomly selected secondary school members of the National Council of Teachers of English. Results from a 60% response indicated that (1) a large majority of teachers in the sample felt a need for teaching reading in high school and accepted this responsibility, (2) most teachers who gave reading instruction felt inadequately prepared to teach reading, (3) teachers' preparation for teaching reading has not significantly improved in recent years, and (4) better prepared teachers used more recommended reading practices and noted their own effectiveness in teaching reading more favorably than did those less well-prepared.
