This preliminary analysis examines the certification status of math and science teachers in Missouri based on core data and certification system files from 2003-04 and 2004-05. It includes information on the number of teachers, their certification levels, and certification transactions from August 1, 2003, to the present. The study aims to identify new teachers, assess turnover rates among math and science teachers, particularly those with Provisional and TAC certifications, and establish procedures for freezing certification data for historical analysis.
