Title: Race and demographic trends: the employment of minority teachers in California public schools
Abstract: Given the centrality of educators to the functioning of schools, little work has been done to understand how student demographic variations shape school employment practices. This study argues that both the minority status of teachers and the shitting racial composition of schools are important social variables in predicting the probability of public school employment. The study utilizes data on Black. Hispanic and non-minority teachers employed in California public schools. The study concludes that minority student growth rates, interacting with school segregation, are significant predictors of minority teacher employment patterns.
