Article on math teachers, help please - Gifted Issues Discussion Forum

Awhile ago, I read an article that was linked from here. 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!

Not the same article, but the info is also in the Fordham Report: http://www.edexcellence.net/doc/20080618_high_achievers.pdf

Thank you!

I did eventually find the one I was looking for, and it was this one:
