Examining the Antecedents and Outcomes of Contemporary Large Teacher Strikes
As teacher strikes remain a prominent phenomenon within the United States, it is critical to examine their prevalence, potential causes, and consequences to understand the evolving dynamics of education policy, labor relations, and teaching as a profession. Using a unique longitudinal dataset of large teacher strikes between 1993 and 2019, we find strikes occur in waves and various economic, socio-political, and occupational factors predict strik…
Examining the Differential Relationships Between School Climate and Students’ Disciplinary Outcomes
Improving school climate has emerged as a strategy to reduce discipline disparities. This study uses the case of New York City to examine the differential relationships between school climate and students’ likelihood of receiving office discipline referrals (ODRs) or suspensions. The results illustrate that the association between school climate and school discipline varies significantly by student characteristics. Black, Latinx, male, low-income…
Distributional Trends and the Induction Supports and Preparedness of Early Career Teachers
Using nationally representative data from 2000 to 2021, we examine the distribution of teacher characteristics and qualifications over time, with an emphasis on early career teacher (ECT) qualifications, access to induction supports, and perceptions of preparedness and their distribution across majority-minority, high-poverty, and rural schools. We find the proportion of ECTs and first-year teachers has remained mostly stable and even declined sl…
Learning From Success to Disrupt Disparities
Racial inequality in school discipline is an important topic in education. Using nationwide data, this study identifies and examines “Inclusive Disciplinary Districts” (IDDs) in the United States. We use data from the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) that provides district-level data for the years 2011 to 2012, 2013 to 2014, 2015 to 2016, and 2017 to 2018. The results indicate that suspension rates for Black students, the geographic region, st…
Teacher Turnover and Student Disciplinary Infractions
Purpose: Racial disparities in schools’ use of exclusionary discipline remain a persistent concern, particularly for Black students. Research examining the interplay of school factors on their influence on the use of exclusionary disciplinary punishments has overlooked the role that staffing instability, particularly in the form of teacher turnover, has on school discipline outcomes. To better understand the influence that teacher staffing instab…
Revisiting Teaching Quality Gaps
There is continued concern over the inequitable distribution of highly experienced and effective teachers among historically marginalized student populations. Using longitudinal data from Tennessee, this study assesses whether students of racially/ethnically minoritized and economically disadvantaged backgrounds have unequal exposure to teachers based on alternate definitions of teaching quality. We find minoritized and economically disadvantaged…
Racial Threat, Schools, and Exclusionary Discipline
Given the mixed evidence on the role of school-level factors in contributing to racial inequality in exclusionary discipline, there is a need to revisit how the demographic composition of schools relates to the prevalence of and disparities in disciplinary outcomes. In this study, we extend the racial threat theoretical framework by illustrating the associations between racial composition and changes in the racial composition of schools and schoo…
Examining student perceptions of school climate, school personnel, and school discipline
Improving school climate is important to reducing disparities in exclusionary discipline, yet the relationship between school climate and school discipline remains poorly understood. Although prior studies have largely relied on students' perceptions to measure school climate, few studies have examined how school contextual factors such as prior disciplinary history or school personnel may affect students' perception of school climate. In the pre…
The Ties That Bind
Inequities in exclusionary discipline result from a complex process involving students, families, and school personnel. However, little research has explored the topic from parent perspectives. This study used parent survey data from New York City to investigate the link between school-family relationships and students experiencing exclusionary discipline. Results indicate that stronger parental trust toward teachers is connected to a reduced pro…
Teaching Bias? Relations between Teaching Quality and Classroom Demographic Composition
Purpose: Prior work has drawn consistent conclusions about systematic racial disparities in the allocation of high-quality teachers in US public schools, such as classrooms with more students of color having teachers with fewer credentials and less experience. However, these fixed characteristics of teachers are only proxies for the quality of teaching, which may vary within teacher by the different classrooms they teach. Research Methods/Approac…
Making Do
Previous reports suggest that administrators rarely dismiss low-performing teachers despite the changing policy landscape allowing them to do so. This brief uses survey data from Tennessee to investigate the underlying reasons explaining administrators’ decisions to retain low-performing teachers. The presented analysis suggests that administrators largely retain low-performing teachers due to a persistent belief that these teachers will improve …
Understanding Tenure Reform
Background Since 2015, 23 states have issued a variety of reforms to the teacher tenure process. Many of these reforms have made it more difficult for teachers to receive tenure, either by extending the pre-tenure probation period or requiring some form of evidence of teacher performance. How educators and school leaders make sense of changes to tenure-granting policies likely transforms their perceptions of the teaching profession and has ramifi…
Sorting Through Performance Evaluations
The federal Race to the Top initiative signified a shift in American education policy whereby accountability efforts moved from the school to the teacher level. Using administrative data from Tennessee, we explore whether evaluation reforms differentially influenced mobility patterns for teachers of varying effectiveness. We find that the rollout of a statewide evaluation system, even without punitive consequences, was associated with increased t…
Collaborative research and actions on both sides of the US-Mexico border to counteract type 2 diabetes in people of Mexican origin
BACKGROUND: Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is now a massive epidemic in both California and Mexico, with serious consequences for social and economic well-being. A large proportion of these populations share common ethnic backgrounds. Yet diverse environmental and social conditions across regions create unique opportunities to explore the ways that T2D risk, incidence, management and outcomes manifest. MAIN TEXT: An action-oriented research consortium hea…
Dietary quality and household food insecurity among Mexican children and adolescents
Seventy percent of Mexican households experience some level of food insecurity (FI). Studies have shown positive associations between FI and poor dietary quality. As far as it is known, this is the first time the Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2010) has been used to assess dietary quality of children and adolescents in Mexico, and to examine if FI is related to it. The objective of this research is to assess dietary quality and its association with FI…
Added sugar intake and metabolic syndrome in US adolescents
Objective To examine the association between added sugar intake and metabolic syndrome among adolescents. Design Dietary, serum biomarker, anthropometric and physical activity data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cycles between 2005 and 2012 were analysed using multivariate logistic regression models. Added sugar intake in grams per day was estimated from two 24 h standardized dietary recalls and then separated into q…
The “Representative Bureaucracy” in Education
Bureaucratic representation—the idea that a governmental organization is better situated to serve its clients when its employee composition reflects that of its client population—has received considerable scholarly attention in the study of public institutions in the fields of political science and public administration. In a wide variety of settings, this research has demonstrated important connections between the racial, ethnic, and gender comp…
Distribución de los ingresos urbanos en Colombia en la década del noventa
A principios de los años noventa se presentó una aguda polémica, con respecto a la evolución reciente de la distribución de los ingresos en Colombia. Parte del debate se centró en el problema del censuramiento, es decir: la imposición de un tope máximo al registro de los ingresos en las encuestas de hogares. El presente artículo se enmarca de esta discusión y aplica la metodología de Pareto para solucionar el problema del censuramiento. Se constr…
