The MMC and Teacher Composition

This analysis examines the effects of the Michigan Merit Curriculum (MMC) on high school teaching positions and dynamics from 2004 to 2011. It addresses key questions about whether high schools have reallocated teaching positions to accommodate curricular changes, the impact of MMC on teacher balance, and variations in student-teacher ratios for MMC and non-MMC teachers. Findings suggest a shift in focus towards MMC-core subjects, leading to a decline in student-teacher ratios for MMC teachers while non-MMC ratios increased, raising concerns about the attention given to non-MMC core subjects.
