Math Teacher Needs a Math Teacher
P-D:
Math teachers often don’t add up for at-risk students
Math can be hard enough, but imagine the difficulty when a teacher is just one chapter ahead of the students.
It happens, and it happens more often to poor and minority students. Those children are about twice as likely to have math teachers who don’t know their subject, according to a report by the Education Trust, a children’s advocacy group.
Minority students are more likely to have minority teachers, who are themselves more likely not to be as conversant in the subject matter they teach, all compared to white students and teachers.
