These main findings combine to suggest that racially congruent colleagues are important, with respect to decreasing turnover and influencing transfer preference, but also that teachers appear to prefer schools with at least some racial diversity edworkingpapers.com/ai24-1080

Alex J Moran @alexmoran.bsky.social · 05/11/2024
Second, I find that teachers who do decide to transfer schools are more likely to transfer to schools with a greater percentage of racially congruent colleagues than their original school. As with my turnover findings, I also show a diminishing return to this relationship
100
Alex J Moran @alexmoran.bsky.social · 05/11/2024
However, I extend this finding to show, with non-linear models, diminishing returns to racially congruent colleagues, in that there is no difference in effect above ~50%

Alex J Moran @alexmoran.bsky.social · 05/11/2024
First, I find that a 10pp increase in racially congruent colleagues decreases turnover by about 6% of a SD, with greater effects for Black teachers than White teachers

Using publicly available teacher-level data from Pennsylvania, I examine how racially congruent colleagues influence teacher turnover and transfer preferences
