The Case of Teacher Tracking at Leon Middle School
Stanley, Darrius A.; Venzant Chambers, Terah T.
Journal of Cases in Educational Leadership, v21 n3 p75-87 Sep 2018
Derrick Lindsey, a Black teacher at Leon Middle School, has high aspirations for his career in education and hopes to become an outstanding teacher and transformative educator. He is enthusiastic about his job and passionate about his students; however, he cannot help but notice that there are some serious inequities occurring at Leon. Of primary concern is the long-standing, disproportionate assignment of Black faculty to less prestigious courses and White faculty to better-resourced classrooms in Leon's International Baccalaureate program. The root of Leon's issues begins to unravel as Derrick voices his concerns about the mistreatment of Black faculty to Principal Anderson. This case study explores the damaging effects of teacher tracking and asks readers to consider the consequences of these decisions on school climate and the retention of diverse faculty.
