q2 · i? · theoretical · r?

A simulation applying the agent-based model to Washington State data estimates that eliminating inequities in teacher mobility and hiring "across different schools would close TQGs within 5 years." Estimates are counterfactual simulation outputs, not experimental results.

"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"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Eliminating attrition inequities alone does little to close teacher quality gaps — related
• Eliminating hiring inequities alone would close teacher quality gaps within 10 years — related
• Teacher attrition, mobility, and hiring jointly contribute to teacher quality gaps between students of color and other students — a broader claim this one bears on
• Teacher hiring and transfer patterns are consistent with small effectiveness differences, while attrition does not contribute to inequitable access — related
• Assuring that poor and minority children had teachers of the same quality as other children would close about half the achievement gap — related
