Bias can take many forms that diminish the ability of educators of color to succeed, such as being assigned more challenging classrooms with more underserved students or being viewed by their administrator less positively because of their race. Acting on bias and assigning low effectiveness ratings to an educator of color is a form of discrimination. The results of this study suggest ratings assigned to educators of color are discriminatory. Administrators view White female educators as the most effective, with Black and Asian male educators viewed as the least effective; 89% and 78% of White female educators are rated as more effective than the average Black and Latinx male educator, respectively. The performance appraisal process is just the tip of the iceberg regarding the negative impacts of bias on educators of color in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/sreed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/502\/2021\/06\/Bias-and-discrimination-reflected-in-effectiveness-ratings.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bias and Discrimination Reflected in Effectiveness Ratings Report<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this study, we examine statewide effectiveness ratings data of over 55,000 educators for evidence of bias and discrimination.
