Learner Objectives
This session will help participants…
- assess the literature on the long-term benefits of minoritized students being taught by teachers of their same race;
- discuss research findings on the significance of student–teacher racial match during early childhood education; and
- offer insight into the proposed ways in which racial match may benefit student achievement (e.g., same-race teachers serving as role models, having more positive perceptions, capacity to relate culturally and have shared experiences with their same-race student).
Description
As racial inequities and achievement gaps persist in education, research has demonstrated the value of student–teacher racial match. Come learn about racial matching and its impact on long-term academic outcomes.
