One approach to address persistent inequalities around student discipline is to match students to teachers of the same ethnoracial group. @TravisJBristol, @mshirrell, and @TolaniBritton discuss this approach using data from New York City public schools. https://t.co/uEhVVqpDf5

Need more research like this: "Findings suggest sentencing policies that increased judicial discretion were associated w/both increases in the number of Black men incarcerated and decreases in the likelihood of college enrollment for Black men." #edequity

What distinguishes teacher burnout from demoralization? While the former locates challenges in the individual, the latter centers the institutional environments where teachers work. Read @mshirrell’s review: https://t.co/ZYFV4P6y1a @DorisASantoro @DavidCBerliner @Harvard_Ed_Pub
