q2 i? Schools with high student of color enrollment had a greater share of first- or second-year teachers (17.2% vs 9.1% in 2016), and the proportion grew from 15.0% to 17.2% while remaining about 9% in low-enrollment schools. → Cardichon 2020

Descriptive analysis of 2014 and 2016 CRDC data on first- and second-year teachers, shown in Figure 3. The report states "the proportion of new teachers in the profession grew from 15.0% to 17.2%" in high-enrollment schools while remaining "fairly stable at about 9%" in low-enrollment schools.
"In these schools in 2016, 17.2% of teachers were just beginning their careers compared to 9.1% of teachers in schools with low enrollment of students of color."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Race and Ethnicity — predictor: outcomes differ by group: a gap reflecting circumstances and treatment, not a cause
Related Claims¶
- In 2016, schools with high enrollment of students of color were four times as likely to employ uncertified teachers as schools with low enrollment of students of color — related
- Regardless of location, schools with high student of color enrollment have a greater percentage of inexperienced teachers than low-enrollment schools, with urban schools most affected — a broader claim this one bears on
- State-level disparities in access to certified and experienced teachers vary greatly, with some states showing two to three times as many uncertified or inexperienced teachers in high-enrollment schools — related
