Abstract	At the request of the Urban League of Miami, the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) analyzed the distribution of teachers in Miami-Dade County Public Schools. In this paper, the authors examine teacher-level data to determine whether indicators correlated with teacher quality vary across the district based on socioeconomic differences, and recommend ways the district can distribute teachers in a more equitable way. The paper--while specific to Miami-Dade County--examines an issue with which school districts across the country struggle. To that end, the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights has begun collecting data on student enrollment by race and ethnicity and teacher characteristics. The first summary of these data indicates that (1) black students are more likely to be taught by a first-year teacher than white students; (2) their teachers are more likely to be paid less; and (3) they are more likely to have an uncertified or unlicensed teacher. An appendix, "Research base that supports the five indicators used in the report," is included. (ERIC).
