Systems and Strategies for Addressing the Inequitable Distribution of Teachers

This national webcast, which was facilitated by Candace Crawford, a senior policy associate at The Education Trust, brought together experts and practitioners to discuss existing research and strategies that promote equitable access to excellent teachers. The presenters included Judy Wurtzel, advisor to the secretary of the U.S. Department of Education; Cortney Rowland, a senior policy associate at the National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality (TQ Center); and Charles Clotfelter, Ph.D., a professor of public policy, economics, and law at Duke University. The presentations included an overview of the research, information about the requirements and potential funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that can be used to address equity issues, and a discussion of useful resources from the TQ Center. PowerPoint presentations, prewebcast presentations, and a live recording of the webcast are available.
