What Attracts Minority Teachers? A Study...
|
Posted By: Will Moss on August 03, 2005 Special thanks to Janet Reiners for allowing us to share this very informative study with the visitors of HBCUConnect! Abstract: This study attempts to address the question of what attracts minority teachers to a position or community. Data was generated from interviews with minority teachers, responses from minority teachers to a survey, which was placed on two national minority recruitment websites, and a survey of school district HR professionals in Iowa and Nebraska. Minority teacher responses were examined to determine if they align with what HR directors believe to be important to minority candidates in a position or community. Thirty-five completed online surveys resulted from posting the survey on the two national minority recruitment websites. Individual interviews were conducted with a small group of minority teachers currently teaching in Iowa. Eighteen school district HR professionals participated in completing the online survey. Findings include analysis of responses regarding minority teacher preferences in selecting a position and community. Findings from HR professionals surveyed include their beliefs in what minority teachers prefer in a position or community and the current recruitment efforts they are using and those they believe are most effective.
