Introduction Week’s six entry I have chosen article, “The Impact of Troops to Teachers Participants on Student Achievement.” This article focused on the Troops to Teachers program in the state of Texas. Troops to Teachers is a U.S. Department of Defense program that helps eligible military personnel begin a new career as teachers in public schools where their skills, knowledge, and experience are most needed.

The unit of measurement for this study were the mean scores interactions between both groups. The instrument of measurement was the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) exam. The STAAR is a state standardized test used to measure student’s achievement in reading, math, science, and social studies. All information for the study was provided by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). The STAAR exam study proved that based on the mean scores of the eight-graders that the students who were taught by the non-participants tended to achieve higher scores in math, science, and social studies. The eighth-graders who were taught by the TTT participants scored higher only in the reading area. Although the scores was higher, it was not by a significant amount that introduced any factoring concern. The TTT program had proven itself both beneficial to students and second career educated teachers.
