Note(s): Coefficients represent the results from our linear probability model where the outcome was a binary measure of whether each paraeducator ever moved into a teaching position during the time frame of the study: significance levels = *p < 0.10, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01. White paraeducators were included in the sample used to run this analysis, however, we only report coefficients corresponding to PCIP, as these groups were the focus of our investigation. The preparation program measure was categorical and entered the model with the base/reference group set to paraeducators with no certification
