This dataset displays state and district level educator data by race and ethnicity for each district, with rows for different years, different educator job groups, and a wide range of
indicators. It was created as part of a dashboard supporting the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's commitment to provide all students with a racially diverse and culturally responsive educator workforce.
Total Educators: This displays the annual number and percent of distinct educators who self-reported/identified as the selected Race/Ethnicity as of the first weekday in October of each school year. Data are further disaggregated by job classification group.
Educator Retention: This displays the number and percent of educators who were working in the same position from one school year to the next (via consecutive October EPIMS collections).
New Hires: This displays the annual number and percent of new hires in the selected Race/Ethnicities. It counts teachers who were reported as "working" in the annual October EPIMS collection who were hired on or after June 1 of the prior school year.
This dataset contains the same data that is also published in the Total Educators, Educator Retention, and New Hires tables on our
Educator Dashboard.
