What Explains the Race Gap in Teacher Performance Ratings? Evidence From Chicago Public Schools (Article)
Black teachers in Chicago are more likely than their White colleagues to teach economically disadvantaged and lower-achieving students. Moreover, Black teachers systematically teach in schools with significantly worse organizational climates—less effective leadership, fewer collaborative opportunities among teachers, less support for ambitious instruction, and weaker connections to their students’ families than their White peers.
