As the school year continues amid a third wave of COVID cases, the role of teachers has taken center stage.
But who are teachers? The latest demographic information from the National Center for Education Statistics is from the school year — which offers insight into educator demographics prior to the onset of the pandemic. That year, there were 3. Elementary school teachers, in addition to being the most likely to be women, also tend to earn less than teachers at higher grade levels. That said, average earnings are lowest for people teaching at combined middle and high schools, though this may be related to other factors about communities where this format is more common.
Women are starting to make up more of the teaching staff at public middle and high schools. While the total share of public school teachers who are women now is only two percentage points higher than it was in the school year , the share of public middle or high school teachers who are women grew by five percentage points. Still, at least in public schools, the proportion of minority teachers increases substantially when most students share their racial and ethnic identity.
Comparable information on private institutions is not available. Black and Hispanic teachers also make up larger shares of the teaching staff at low-income public schools.
Additionally, the shares of Black and Hispanic teachers are both five percentage points higher in city public schools compared to the overall public school system. Suburban public schools also report that a higher percentage of teachers — That may be connected to the relative wealth distribution between city, suburban, town, and rural areas.
As teacher pay tends to be scaled by experience and degree status, this is an expected outcome in areas able to hire many highly educated teachers, even at greater expense. Private schools also report a smaller share of teachers with postgraduate degrees than do public schools — This again aligns with average salaries. Of course, the pandemic has since changed much about what it means to be a teacher, as educators reckon with both the health risks of in-person teaching and the challenges of online learning.
With cases growing ahead of the holidays, teachers and students are grappling with what class will look like for the second half of the school year.
