“Factors Impacting Student Teacher Ratios in New York State at the Secondary Level ” by Willow Lopez-Silvers (Iona College)

Inequality is a growing issue in education. Demographics, location, and the systematic oppression of certain groups appear to have a direct impact on student teacher ratios. These differences are significant and valid. Using mathematical and statistical analysis, there are predictions and analysis of the relationships between student teacher ratios, location, and racial demographics. For example, as a location becomes more urban and grows in size, the student teacher ratio increases. In districts with higher levels of minority populations, student teacher ratios are also higher. This can have an effect on the quality of education for these districts.

  1. Hi Willow! This is a very interesting project. Do you have any future plans either for continuing this research or sharing these results with, for example, school boards in hopes of leading to action for change?

  2. Thank you! Yes, it is a part of a greater thesis project that is studying graduation rates. I will be presenting it at my college and hopefully continue it through my teaching career.
