Population of Illinois Teachers
The findings for Illinois are based on information from 7,129 teachers who began their teaching careers in Illinois during the 1994-95 school year. The career of each teacher in the sample is followed from the entry year through the 1999-2000 school year.
Figure 1 provides a profile of the personal characteristics of the newly hired 1994-95 Illinois teachers. New teachers in Illinois tended to be white, female, age 30 or younger, and holding a bachelor's degree. The majority of these new teachers were white, and 68 percent were 30 years old or younger. Less than 10 percent possessed graduate degrees.
*Includes whites as well as ethnic minority groups who numbered too few to form another representative sample.
