Minority Student Effectiveness

In Rebecca Klein’s article “Minority Students Don't Only Get Less Experienced Teachers, They Also Get Less Effective Ones”, a study from the Center for American Progress reveals that low-income students of colour have less experienced and less effective teachers, which is based on standardized test scores and observation in classroom sessions.
