Findings: Training model
There is considerable variation among education schools in relatively close proximity in terms of the proportion of the elementary schools used for placement that are high-needs, high-functioning schools. This variation can be seen by accessing information on maps below: Both by its color and by information shown by a mouse left-click, each teardrop symbol on the two maps below (one for the Chicago region and one for the rest of the state) provides information on the proportion of the elementary schools of those sampled for an institution that are high needs and high performing. Notes shown by the left-click also provide the same information for other institutions in their vicinity.

The variations noted are suggestive but should be interpreted with caution. While only a small number of schools provided may be high needs and/or high functioning, they may be schools disproportionately used for student teaching placement, and/or that there may be geographical or other constraints that prevent the expression of an institution's commitment to training teachers in high-needs, high-functioning schools.
