The Right Way to Boost Teacher Diversity
- Any effort to actively diversify the teaching profession is likely to put conservatives in a defensive posture, as the push for teacher diversity risks bringing all the ethical and constitutional issues of affirmative action and diversity, equity, and inclusion to the classroom. Even so, students really do benefit from teachers who share their background, and there are conservative ways to recruit such teachers that don‘t amount to racial bean counting.
- The progressive argument that simply hiring more black teachers to teach black kids will somehow usher in an educational utopia is false―setting teacher diversity goals at proportionality with student enrollment is mathematically next to impossible. That said, substantial evidence suggests that students do benefit from having a few teachers whose backgrounds resemble their own. For example, Gershenson, Holt, and Papageorge find that black teachers hold higher expectations for black students than white teachers do, and that these higher expectations are related to higher student achievement.
- Three conservative steps can promote teacher diversity rightly: (1) schools should affirmatively recruit and hire teachers whose own lived experiences―not race as a proxy―match those of the students they will teach, without waiving other important qualifications; (2) schools and districts should recruit teachers who demonstrate a commitment to traditional educational practices, such as explicit phonics instruction and high expectations for student behavior; and (3) schools, districts, and states should tear down the walls that are keeping great teachers out of the classroom, including burdensome licensure requirements and late job postings that disadvantage candidates from lower-income families.
