Technical Assistance in Action: Equitable Distribution
The TQ Center convened a panel of experts to present a webcast on the topic of the equitable distribution of teachers.
Request
With the increased focus on the equitable distribution of teachers and the recently authorized American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), the TQ Center saw a need in providing its RCC and SEC constituents with the latest policy, research, and strategies on addressing the equitable distribution of teachers.
Response
The TQ Center hosted a webcast on May 21, 2009. This webcast, facilitated by Candace Crawford, senior policy associate at The Education Trust, brought together experts and practitioners to discuss the existing research and strategies that address the inequitable distribution of teachers. Presenters included Judy Wurtzel, adviser to the secretary, U.S. Department of Education; Cortney Rowland, senior policy associate at the TQ Center; and Charles Clotfelter, Ph.D., professor of public policy, economics, and law at Duke University. The presentations included an overview of the research, information about the requirements and potential funding through ARRA that can be used to address the inequitable distribution of teachers, and a discussion of useful resources from the TQ Center.
