Data from the Texas Education Agency shows a significant difference in certification rates between charter school teachers and those in traditional public school districts. Charter school teachers are nearly seven times as likely to be uncertified. This information came to light after an analysis by KSAT Investigates, which began looking into the impact of uncertified teachers on education.

The investigation initially focused on public school districts, but viewers requested a look into charter schools as well. Research has linked uncertified teachers in public schools to learning loss, but the results are different in charter schools.

Further details on the analysis and its findings are available from the source, including the potential effects of uncertified teachers on student learning.
