It was about math teachers (I think in New Jersey?) and the author was pointing out how students learned the most from teachers who had knowledge of more advanced math concepts. This was across wealthy and non-wealthy districts. I've tried the search, but I can't seem to find the link. Thanks! Mom to DD9 and DD3

These disadvantaged high achievers� termed �NCLB-HA� in the study�were also as likely as other high-achieving students to have teachers who had majored or minored in math. - page 4
