Differences in the professional norms of middle grades teachers with and without middle grades certification/endorsement

Advocates of middle grades reform often argue that teaching at that level requires different norms and technical skills than does teaching at either the elementary or secondary level. Recently, states have begun to accept this argument and require separate certification or endorsement for middle grades teachers. This paper explores whether possession of such a certificate/endorsement is associated with differences in the professional norms of practicing middle grades teachers.
