Revisiting Teaching Quality Gaps: Urbanicity and Disparities in Access to High-Quality Teachers across Tennessee
Luis A. Rodriguez; Tuan D. Nguyen; Matthew G. Springer
Urban Education, v60 n2 p467-504 2025
There is continued concern over the inequitable distribution of highly experienced and effective teachers among historically marginalized student populations. Using longitudinal data from Tennessee, this study assesses whether students of racially/ethnically minoritized and economically disadvantaged backgrounds have unequal exposure to teachers based on alternate definitions of teaching quality. We find minoritized and economically disadvantaged students are 5 to 15 percentage points less likely to be exposed to high-quality teachers. These teacher quality gaps tend to be the largest in urban school contexts. Moreover, school-level exposure gaps tend to be associated with several school, district, and neighborhood factors.
