Abstract

We develop a novel simulation methodology to study the extent to which three interrelated processes—teacher attrition from the state teaching workforce, teacher mobility between teaching positions, and teacher hiring for open positions—contribute to “teacher quality gaps” (TQGs) between students of color and other students in K–12 public schools. We apply this methodology to data from Washington State to provide estimates that eliminating inequities in teacher mobility and hiring across different schools would close TQGs within 5 years, while just eliminating inequities in teacher hiring would close gaps within 10 years. On the other hand, eliminating inequities in teacher attrition without addressing mobility and hiring does little to close gaps.

它是怎么变成这样的？基于agent的教师素质差距源解析

我们开发了一种新的模拟方法来研究三个相互关联的过程——国家教师队伍中的教师流失、教师职位之间的流动和教师招聘——在多大程度上导致了K-12公立学校有色人种学生和其他学生之间的“教师质量差距”（TQG）。我们将这一方法应用于华盛顿州的数据，以提供估计，消除不同学校教师流动和招聘方面的不平等将在5年内缩小TQG，而仅仅消除教师招聘方面的不平等将在10年内缩小差距。另一方面，在不解决流动性和招聘问题的情况下消除教师流失的不公平现象，对缩小差距几乎没有作用。

期刊介绍： Social Science Research publishes papers devoted to quantitative social science research and methodology. The journal features articles that illustrate the use of quantitative methods in the empirical solution of substantive problems, and emphasizes those concerned with issues or methods that cut across traditional disciplinary lines. Special attention is given to methods that have been used by only one particular social science discipline, but that may have application to a broader range of areas.
