California BIPOC Students Bear the Weight of the Teacher Credentialing Crisis
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- In this study, we review the distribution of credentialed and under-credentialed teachers across student demographics in the San Francisco Bay Area and across the largest districts in the state to provide a snapshot of the current state of the teacher credentialing crisis. We compare teacher and student data on a school level across all schools in unified districts in the nine Bay Area Counties and, in a separate analysis, in all of the schools in the state’s 11 largest unified districts (districts that have more than 45,000 students enrolled). In both analyses, we find that Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) students are under-represented in schools with a high share of fully-credentialed teachers, with the occasional exception of Hispanic students. Our findings lead us to recommend that the teacher credentialing crisis be addressed in two complimentary ways: by supporting under-credentialed teachers so that they can achieve their full credential and serve the disproportionately marginalized students they teach, and by tailoring efforts underway to increase access and pathways into traditional credentialing routes.
