Journal Article
The Continuing Decline in Asian American Teachers
1997
Overview
The disparity between proportions of Asian American teachers and Asian American students in U. S. elementary and secondary schools has increased, Asian student enrollment having doubled every decade since 1970. As a case example in the composition of the U. S. teaching force, this study focuses on the differing patterns and causes of shortages of minority teachers across varying groups; understanding these differences may contribute to more effective but varied educational policies for recruiting and retaining Asian American and other minority teachers. Using social-demographic data from the U. S. Bureau of the Census and information from the U. S. Department of Education and existing research literature, this study compared the decennial census data of 1990 with 1970 and 1980 data to analyze shortages by U. S. geographic location, Asian nationality, gender, grade level, and immigration status. Causes of shortages are linked to traditional patterns of recruitment in proposing policy recommendations for increasing the number of Asian Americans in teaching.
