“It’s not because Black teachers are less effective or have lower performance than white teachers in Chicago. It’s that Black teachers in Chicago teach systematically in very different school settings,” one researcher explained. “Black teachers are systematically in schools that are less resourced. It’s not just the classroom environment, it’s the package of goods and services at the school level that is explaining differences in observation scores.”
