ILLINOIS PROFESSOR: ‘PROBLEMATIC’ SO MANY PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS ARE WHITE
URBANA, IL – Illinois State University College of Education professor Amee Adkins thinks the state’s schools need more ethnic diversity in its teaching ranks to address lagging performance from minority students.
Adkins recently pointed out the News-Gazette what most Illinois public school administrators already know: most teachers are white women. And Adkins believes that’s “problematic” in places where “the staff is disproportionate to the community it serves.”
“What message does that communicate to students?” she questioned. “Are their adults not capable of leading student learning?”
“A more culturally diverse staff learns about and from one another and, thus, can better connect with and serve their students,” Adkins contends. “Having a shared cultural background helps in building good relationships among teachers, students and parents who are then able to work together to improve student learning.”
Maybe they could find out if that Dolezal woman is available. She's white but she thinks she's black.
ReplyDeleteCuckoo !!!!!
ReplyDeleteLittle problem called Basic Skills Test. Most graduates of CPS anyway can't pass it. Why do you think the percentage of minority teachers throughput the system is dwindling. Chicago Teachers Union doesn't want to say it, but bet on it. It's the truth.
ReplyDeleteThe majority of young teachers coming out of college these days are either parochial school or suburban district graduates. By the time students are in college it's too late to start teaching "basic skills". If you don't have it by the time you're 18-19 chances are you will never have it.
Standards are getting tougher and the number of minority teachers is getting lower. Someone should check the number of teachers who are CPS graduates.
Do they know the difference between ASKED and AXED?
