Abstract
Perceived self-efficacy for teaching has been linked to a variety of teacher and student outcomes, but research on the development of teaching efficacy during alternative certification programs is limited and mixed. The purpose of this chapter was to
understand what particular components of an alternative certification program contributed to middle school teachers' mathematics self-efficacy. We used interviews throughout the program and at the end of the first year of teaching to understand how
self-efficacy development was impacted by the program. Findings suggest that knowledge of and experience with teaching are important for teachers throughout their training and first year of teaching, but in general, vicarious experiences, verbal
persuasion, and stress reducers might be time-sensitive. Variation among individual cases is also discussed.
