===== Definition ===== 

Teacher segregation refers to the practice of separating teachers based on race, ethnicity, or gender. It can occur in various ways, such as assigning teachers of different races or ethnicities to teach in different schools or classrooms, or providing different resources and support to teachers based on their race or gender.

Teacher segregation has its roots in historical patterns of racial and gender discrimination in the education system. For example, during the era of racial segregation in the United States, African American teachers were often relegated to teach in predominantly African American schools with fewer resources and opportunities for advancement. Similarly, women teachers were often confined to teaching certain subjects or grade levels, while male teachers were given preference for positions of leadership and higher salaries.

While overt forms of teacher segregation have largely been eliminated, there are still some disparities in teacher assignments and opportunities based on race, ethnicity, and gender. For example, research has shown that schools with high poverty rates or predominantly students of color are more likely to have lower-quality teachers and higher teacher turnover rates. Additionally, women teachers are still underrepresented in positions of leadership and administration in many school districts.

Efforts to address teacher segregation focus on promoting diversity and equity in the teaching profession. This includes initiatives to recruit and retain teachers from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, provide equal and fair opportunities for professional development and advancement, and ensure that all students have access to high-quality, well-supported teachers regardless of their race, ethnicity, or gender.
