The review describes an "invisible tax" of extra, unrecognized, and uncompensated work teachers of color perform for students of color, citing Simon & Johnson (2015) and Griffin & Tackie (2016). Descriptive account; no effect size printed.
"Teachers talk about an “invisible tax” related to the extra work they have to do for their students, which is not recognized or monetized in any particular way."
