067 Teacher Shortage & Homework Inequality

Release Date:  September 12, 2022 Leave a Comment

View Segment 1 Transcript

Episode Synopsis

Staffing challenges in districts across the United States are fueling a narrative of a nationwide teacher shortage. However, Paul Bruno joins us to talk about his recent work showing there may not be a “national” shortage… or national anything.

Later, we read a paper showing some of the inequitable impacts of math homework, and the persistence of a meritocracy myth despite teachers’ knowledge of the inequity.
