The Brookings Institution published a free webinar: Teacher diversity and student success: Why racial representation matters in the classroom
In it, they discuss issues of achievement gaps and underrepresentation of teachers of color being persistent and prevalent across the United States, and racial and ethnic achievement gaps being present at all grade levels.
As you consider teacher placement decisions for the coming year, perhaps consider the importance of representation, and how impactful it can be for students of color to be exposed to diversity in role models. This webinar provides actionable suggestions for promoting diversity in the talent pipeline, common pitfalls, and trends analysis.
