q2 i? Hiring-only reform closes TQGs within 10 years, slower than addressing mobility plus hiring. → Dan Goldhaber 2023

q2 · i? · theoretical · r2
The same Washington State simulation reports that hiring-only reform, eliminating "inequities in teacher hiring" alone, would close gaps within 10 years — a slower timeline than the combined mobility-plus-hiring scenario's 5 years.
"while just eliminating inequities in teacher hiring would close gaps within 10 years."
