Advocating for Actionable Data on Equitable Access to High-Quality Teachers

Participants will explore recent National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) data on inequitable patterns of teacher distribution and their implications for students. We’ll use this data to understand how teachers are distributed and identify weaknesses in states’ current data practices that limit what advocates can learn about equitable access to great teachers. Participants will have a chance to review national data, as well as their own state’s data to identify opportunities to advocate for improved access to actionable data on the equitable distribution of teachers.
