Students are suspended less when their teacher has the same race or ethnicity

Students are suspended less when their teacher has the same race or ethnicity

School suspension rates drop significantly if US teachers came from more diverse backgrounds, a scholar says.

One approach to address persistent inequalities around student discipline is to match students to teachers of the same ethnoracial group. @TravisJBristol, @mshirrell, and @TolaniBritton discuss this approach using data from New York City public schools. brook.gs/3oRg7mD

Thank you .@K12DiveNews .@NaazModan for this news story on our ( .@mshirrell + .@TolaniBritton ) .@NYCSchools study on student-teacher ethnoracial matching & discipline! .@BerkeleyGse k12dive.com/news/decade-of-d…
Decade of data shows matching student-teacher race reduced NYC suspensions

Decade of data shows matching student-teacher race reduced NYC suspensions

White educators are more likely to discipline students of color. Diversifying the teacher workforce and offering bias interventions can combat the trend.

Need more research like this: "Findings suggest sentencing policies that increased judicial discretion were associated w/both increases in the number of Black men incarcerated and decreases in the likelihood of college enrollment for Black men." #edequity

Honored to be joined by @jamespspillane on this week's #ENpodcast to discuss how principals can promote teacher collaboration within "egg-crate" school facilities. His work with @mshirrell shows classroom assignments really matter. ednxt.co/2mOmQx0 @sesp_nu @NorthwesternU

By carefully locating master teachers’ classrooms next to new teachers, schools can increase the odds that they will collaborate, according to IPR/@sesp_nu’s @jamespspillane and former IPR graduate research assistant @mshirrell. bit.ly/2Dknsof
