Abstract

Two trends are dominating K-12 education in the United States: more individuals are pivoting into teaching careers from other professions, and classrooms are becoming more diverse. Structural equation modeling was applied to data from the 2018 Teaching and Learning International Survey. The sample (N = 2554) consisted of teachers from grade 7–9 with an average 15-years of experience and an average age of 43 years. Ninety-eight percent of teachers had a bachelor's degree or higher. The results revealed a significant relationship between teachers' career-choice and their attitudes toward diverse classrooms that have important implications for teacher recruitment and training.
