  1. Notes: Spec. specialist (n = 2761); Gen. generalist (n = 1428)
  2. Children meet recommended levels for a measure if they meet the criteria for either “Achieving” or “Excelling” interpretation categories of the CAPL. Within each category, the values for specialist and generalist reflect the proportion of children in that category taught by teachers with each level of training
