How Schools Matter:
The Link Between Teacher Classroom Practices
and Student Academic Performance
Harold Wenglinsky

Abstract
Quantitative studies of school effects have generally
supported the notion that the problems of U.S. education lie
outside of the school. Yet such studies neglect the primary venue
through which students learn, the classroom. The current study
explores the link between classroom practices and student
academic performance by applying multilevel modeling to the 1996
National Assessment of Educational Progress in mathematics. The
study finds that the effects of classroom practices, when added
to those of other teacher characteristics, are comparable in size
to those of student background, suggesting that teachers can
contribute as much to student learning as the students
themselves.
