African American students are often located in schools with less qualified teachers, teachers with lower salaries and novice teachers.

According to the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights:

• Black, Latino, American Indian and Native-Alaskan students attend schools with higher concentrations of first-year teachers at a higher rate (3 to 4%) than white students (1%). English learners also attend these schools at slightly higher rates (3%) than non-English learners (2%).
• Nearly one in four districts with two or more high schools reports a teacher salary gap of more than $5,000 between high schools with the highest and the lowest black and Latino student enrollments.
• While most teachers are certified, nearly half a million students nationwide attend schools where 60% or fewer of teachers meet all state certification and licensure requirements. Racial disparities are particularly acute in schools where uncertified and unlicensed teachers are concentrated; nearly 7% of the nation’s black students – totaling over half a million students – attend schools where 80% or fewer of teachers meet these requirements; black students are more than four times as likely, and Latino students twice as likely, as white students to attend these schools.

(In billions of dollars)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Recently, The New York Times described a report by EdBuild, which said that nonwhite districts received $23 billion less in funding than their predominantly white counterparts in 2016.

What does it do? How is it connected to the issue? The Center for Racial Justice in Education empowers educators to end patterns of racism within communities and their school systems. They offer training programs, consultations, and partnerships with other organizations to help and teach educators who want to end racism within their community and/or classroom.
b. Describe programs and/or initiatives that it has to address the issue.
Racial Justice is their main initiative to address the issue. This includes ending oppression and trying to undo it by giving resources to communities and people of color who do not have them in order to succeed. This works best when many people come together in a community form. When everyone is on board and involved is when the best outcomes occur, especially for a large social issue like this one. Uplifting people of color is another priority and initiative they enforce. Giving people of color a voice and a chance to be focused on to be able to have a greater chance at succeeding like they have in the past.
c. Describe partner organizations that it works with. This organization works with many schools across the U.S., including but not limited to; elementary schools, middle and high schools, colleges and other organizations that can connect with teachers and their communities. They also receive financial funding support from many organization, including but not limited to; NYC City Council, Communities Foundation of Texas, and Duetsche Bank Foundation. (213).

The purpose of the study was to find a potential connection between the statistics that students of color are both suspended at disproportionately higher rates than white students and score lower on standardized tests on average. Francis Pearman, the lead author of the study, explains that "achievement gaps and discipline gaps may be two sides of the same coin." With achievement data from 350 million standardized test scores from US public schools and disciplinary data from the US Department of Education's Civil Rights Data Collection, a positive correlation was indeed found between the two. When the racial discipline gap increases, as does the racial achievement gap. When the racial discipline gap decreases, as does the racial achievement gap. Specifically, a 10% increase in the black-white discipline gap in a given school district predicts a 17% increase in said school's achievement gap. Efforts to lessen these disparities include introducing ethnic studies programs in schools and positive behavior supports to replace suspensions, but before school leaders can effectively tackle these issues, they must first understand the correlation between the discipline and achievement gap and its implications overall.]]> 2020-12-14 19:53:35 UTC https://padlet.com/heimsch0823/ezqj8xzz225fd9p1/wish/1017670888 young5706 https://padlet.com/heimsch0823/ezqj8xzz225fd9p1/wish/1017799608

Describe the organization. What does it do? How is it connected to the issue? Founded by Alan Page and his wife Diane Sims Page, the Page Education Foundation encourages students of color to attend college. They receive financial support for mentoring k-8 students. This connects to racial inequality because these students of color are able to be supported and earn scholarship money to attend college which they might not have had previously.

Describe programs and/or initiatives that it has to address the issue. The program works to end racial disparities. At-risk youth who have a mentor are more likely to attend college and become a mentor themselves. The Page Education Foundation also has a program called Page Connections where students are able to learn about different local businesses in hopes of increasing the number of paid internships the Page Scholars can get. 

Describe partner organizations that it works with. The Page Education Foundation has two partners, Thomson Reuters and Securian Financial. Thomson Reuters helps business owners with decisions about their business in order to be more successful. Securian Financial provides insurance, investment, and retirement solutions. (153)

The article shares that more than half of the United States school children are in racially concentrated districts, in which over 75% of students identify as white or non-white. The article also looks at how economic inequality between races has contributed to racial inequality. Lastly, the article looks at how teachers can teach students about racial inequality. Three essential questions that teachers should use to guide discussions and learning about racial inequality in schools include: 1) How and why are schools still segregated in 2020? 2) What repercussions do segregated schools have for students and society? 3)What are potential remedies to address school segregation? Along with these questions to keep in mind, teachers should try to encourage students to take action and continue to keep this discussion going outside a classroom setting.  ]]> 2020-12-16 03:22:51 UTC https://padlet.com/heimsch0823/ezqj8xzz225fd9p1/wish/1022717910 https://padlet.com/heimsch0823/ezqj8xzz225fd9p1/wish/1022763889 Garrett, Kami, Maddie, Shaila]]> 2020-12-16 03:53:55 UTC https://padlet.com/heimsch0823/ezqj8xzz225fd9p1/wish/1022763889 young5706 https://padlet.com/heimsch0823/ezqj8xzz225fd9p1/wish/1025502098 Question: "According to a report by EdBuild in 2016, how much more did predominately White school districts receive in funding than predominately non-White schools districts?

Median: 10
Mode: 10
IQR: 16.5
Range: 300

We think that the median and the mode (10) is most representative of the data because a majority of the responders severely underestimated the correct answer of 23 billion. The mean is 20.39 but we determined that the few outliers (60, 100, 300) could've easily skewed the mean, and the mean was much more affected by those numbers than the median was. The median and the mode being the same number also showed that 10 was a good representative of the data, as most guesses fell around 10 billion.]]> 2020-12-16 19:45:10 UTC https://padlet.com/heimsch0823/ezqj8xzz225fd9p1/wish/1025515077 heimsch0823 https://padlet.com/heimsch0823/ezqj8xzz225fd9p1/wish/1025521928 2020-12-16 19:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/heimsch0823/ezqj8xzz225fd9p1/wish/1025521928 https://padlet.com/heimsch0823/ezqj8xzz225fd9p1/wish/1025990707 2020-12-16 22:47:40 UTC https://padlet.com/heimsch0823/ezqj8xzz225fd9p1/wish/1025990707
