Main Article Content
Abstract
Wisconsin has had mandated membership in its teacher’s union for all public school teachers since 1959. In 2010, Wisconsin’s teachers’ unions have been under discussion when the new governor came into office and signed Act 10 into law, which allowed all public school teachers to have a choice in membership. Much debate, discussion and furor has surrounded this legislation. The purpose of this paper considers the impact the teacher’s union has had on student achievement according to unionized and non-union teachers and the state standardized assessment.
Keywords: Wisconsin; teacher’s union, student success; WKCE; non-union; student achievement; math; reading; 8th grade
