  1. “Some college students of color may be prevented from teaching because of state licensing requirements, Nathan said. To earn licenses, prospective teachers must meet grade point average requirements and pass tests that Nathan said put candidates of color at a disadvantage and should be studied for bias.”

    What??? So you think there should be lower standards for people of color? Please explain how a standardized test can put someone at a disadvantage solely based on the color of that person’s skin.

    1. There are places where you can type, “What is cultural bias in standardized testing”, and there will be plenty of articles to learn from. It’s way more effective than asking a comment section.

    2. Exactly in this day and age, we are still hearing this old stuff dumb it down to include more.
      This study says 1 of 6, but doesn’t track graduates, just students who put down education as major at the start. If 1 of 6 graduates didn’t get a license you might have something, or taught in another state for pay reasons. This is a poorly done study, which is of no value.

  2. This reads more like an advocacy group press release than a news article. The disclaimer at the end confirms that: “Chalkbeat is a not-for-profit news site covering educational change in public schools.”

  3. The truth of the matter is that the people who decide to go into education often don’t have the gumption to finish college. It’s as simple as that.

  4. From the 2020 Census, Indiana’s Black population is at 9.4%. Having 8% as licensed teachers is not a significant variance. Is there another logical reason we spend resources to increase this? Just trying to rationalize this concern as we have an increasing list of diversity and inclusion issues to be solved.

    1. “About 34% of Indiana students are Black, Hispanic, Asian, or other children of color. But the state’s teaching force is overwhelmingly white, and just 8% of Hoosier teachers are people of color.”
      Not just black population counted in the statistic.

  5. About what I expect from Chalkbeat. Playing the race card from the 2nd paragraph on. Forgot qualifications and who is best at the job, it’s all about race.
