Concept

data used for own-race teachers on student achievement study

In the data, the ratio of white students to white teachers (10.8:1) was much smaller than the ratio of other minority students to their teachers (black, 26.5:1; hispanic/latino, 41.4:1; asian, 47.1:1)
Tracked students over 7 years from elementary school to high school
Students are in grades 3-10 from 2001-2002 to 2008-2009
They utilized a standardized exam called the FCAT (Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test)
They link 2.9 million students to 92,000 teachers-they do this through an indicator that is listed in both the student and teacher profiles for a given year, allowing them to match students and teachers over time
Although some students go to more than one teacher for a specific subject, they credit only one teacher for the students’ growth so it fit in the analysis
They screened the data and successfully included 96% of the students
