Very interesting report from @OSSEDC on the 6,796 teachers in D.C. public and charter schools: https://osse.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/osse/publication/attachments/DC%20Educator%20Workforce%20Report%2010.2019.pdf … Stay tuned for some tweets.
Per this breakdown, Ward 8 schools have the highest percentage of novice teachers, at 15% — and the absolute highest number of at-risk students. Wards 2 and 3, the wealthiest in town, are lowest, at 7% each.pic.twitter.com/RJOOZMtcUd
And here's the racial breakdown of students and teachers by ward. Note that more than half of teachers in Ward 3 are white, followed by Ward 2 at 45%.pic.twitter.com/EWUafLCMW4
And here's teacher retention rates for D.C. schools by ward (Ward 3 has 82% retention, the highest in the city), and the reasons that teachers leave.pic.twitter.com/SGqdmm5QyW
As a DC teacher who has worked in Ward 8, Ward 1, and now Ward 3, I can affirm that all of this data is true. The educational inequity in this city is amazing, and unfortunately our students are the ones who suffer at the hands of poor infrastructure and support.
Just fyi EmpowerEd did a thorough analysis: https://twitter.com/EmpowerEdDC/status/1182332510233120768?s=20 … I wrote about it (and the SBOE teacher retention report update) here: https://educationdc.net/2019/10/21/lets-be-clear-dc-teacher-retention-isnt-just-a-problem-its-a-crisis/ …
Interesting stuff. Great to see so much data from both DCPS and PCS (per report - these data reflect 50 LEAs serving 89% of DC public school students).
Here’s another report to consider in tandem: a meta-analysis of teacher retention with interesting findings about the impact of eval systems and merit pay (hint: not the conventional wisdom)https://twitter.com/chadaldeman/status/1189242885251698689?s=21 …
