Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study undertaken to determine the effect student teacher placement has on job preferences. Seventy-nine of 116 questionnaires were returned from Yakima and East Valley School District student teachers during the 1972-1973 school year two weeks after student teaching during Fall, Winter, or Spring quarters.

The results indicated that most student teachers, regardless of where they taught, minority ethnic or not, seek jobs in non-minority schools.

Recommendations included suggestions for additional research.
