Research Background: “Refusing to Leave Desegregation Behind: From Graduates of Racially Diverse Schools to the Supreme Court” – Amy Stuart Wells, Jacquelyn Duran, & Terrenda White – Teachers College Record Volume 110, Number 12, December 2008, pp. 2532–2570
– As an amici brief for the U.S. Supreme Court case, Parents Involved, regarding the Louisville and Seattle voluntary school desegregation cases, we analyze the long-term effects of attending racially diverse schools on their adult graduates, including interviews with graduates of desegregated schools in Louisville and Seattle.
– Despite how the ruling turned out—making it more difficult for district officials to racially balance their schools—the experience was very impactful on early experience as a researcher
Current Work: • Has shifted toward Strengthening Racial/
Ethnic Diversity in Teaching: – The White House Initiative on Educational
Excellence, sponsored a recent webinar: “Recruiting & Retaining Educators of Color” (2015)
– Evaluation of the Woodrow Wilson-Rockefeller Brothers Fund “Teaching Fellowship for Aspiring Teachers of Color” –T. Bristol, T. White, T. Britton, Y. Sealey-Ruiz
• How does a na'onal teacher cohort model/fellowship improve effec'veness and reten'on of TOCs?
• Mixed-methods study; 129 teachers (53 TOCs, 76 white)
Current Work cont’d • Recent Proposal to study: – “Inten'onally Diverse Charter Schools: Reducing Inequality of Educa'onal Opportunity Through Strategic Integra'on” • Priscilla WohlsteFer (Teachers College); • Terri Wilson, (CU-‐Boulder); • Terrenda White, (Cu-‐Boulder)

Why does Teacher Diversity Matter? -How does it serve the goals of School Diversity?
Academic Impact Socio-‐Emo'onal Impact Business Ra'onale Moral/Ethical Impact Civil Rights Mandate
Shanker Ins+tute: hFp://www.shankerins'tute.org/resource/teacherdiversity
Academic Impact: First priority must be to ensure that every student has the benefit of being taught by skilled, knowledgeable and caring teachers—of whatever race and ethnicity: • Stanford professor Thomas Dee (2004)
– Found that a one-‐year same-‐race pairing of students and teachers significantly increased the math & reading test scores of both Black and White students by roughly 3-‐4 percen'le points.
• Hanushek et al., 2005: – found that Black teachers were significantly more successful than
White teachers in improving the reading and vocabulary scores of Black students.
• Clewell et al., 2005: – Found that test score gains in mathema'cs were significantly higher for
Hispanic students taught by Hispanic teachers than for similar students taught by teachers of different ethnic backgrounds
Academic Impact Cont’d • Other studies show addi'onal posi've outcomes aFributed to teacher diversity, same-‐race pairing: – Improvements for high school gradua+on rates of Black and Hispanic students,
– Increased matricula+on rate for Hispanic students, – Reduced Hispanic students’ dropout rates, – Lower number of Hispanic students assigned to special educa+on,
– Boosted Hispanic students’ placement in classes for the Gi8ed and Talented,
– Decreased Hispanic students’ rates of suspension and expulsions,
– Increased Black students’ enrollment in advanced math classes
Socio-‐Emo'onal & Cultural Impact • Role models for all students; minority students in par'cular:
– TOCs can help schools feel like a caring place for minority students. Serve as an extension of community; likely that students feel their home cultures are warmly embraced.
• In racially diverse schools, TOCs help to alleviate sense of marginaliza+on students may feel in school (Cole, 1986; Graham, 1987; King, 1993).
• Teachers who have knowledge of children’s out-‐of-‐school lives and cultures are less likely to confuse cultural difference for cultural or intellectual disadvantage (Ladson-‐Billings, 1994, Noguera, 2008)
• High Expecta'ons and “warm demander” rela'onship between
teachers and students (Ware, 2006)
More Ra'onales
Reducing Implicit Bias/Racial Discrimina+on: – Harvard and Yale (Paluck & Green, 2009) sought to understand what works to reduce prejudice. They concluded that experiments with cross-‐race contact and coopera+on had yielded promising results.
– Another group of researchers (Plant et al., 2009) explored the “Obama Effect”: • Counter-‐stereotypic exposure to a Black authority figure can help to drama'cally decrease levels of implicit, an'-‐Black prejudice and stereotyping.”
Review: Why Diversity MaHers in the Teaching Force? Research has confirmed that: • Teachers of color are valuable role models for all students, and especially students
of color (Quiocho & Rios, 2000)
• Teachers of color are ooen “cultural brokers” for students of color: – They tend to bring to teaching an understanding of students’ cultural backgrounds and
experiences (Irvine, 1989; Achinstein et. al., 2008; see Villegas & Irvine, 2010).
– They also bring to teaching personal experience with and insight into racism and ethnocentrism in society (see Miller & Endo, 2005; Quiocho & Rios, 2000 in Villegas & Lucas, 2012).
• Teachers of color have significant impact on learning gains for students of color – (see Egalite, Kisida, & Winters, 2015; Fairlie, Hoffman, & Oreopoulous, 2011; Dee, 2004)
• Teachers of color have significant impact on other outcomes for students, such as: – gioed and talented representa'on, aFendance, AP enrollment, and college-‐going rates – (see Grissom et. al., 2015; Achinstein, et al., 2010; Villegas and Irvine, 2010)
• Teachers of color more ooen choose to work in “hard-‐to-‐staff” schools: – Minority teachers are two to three 'mes more likely than white teachers to work in hard-‐to-‐
staff schools, contribu'ng to a segregated teaching force (Frakenberg, 2012) but due in part to TOC seeking out opportuni'es to work student in high-‐needs schools (see Achinstein et. al, 2010; Ingersoll and May, 2011).
Na'onal Trends in Teacher Diversity
Reasons for Lack of Diversity in Teaching: What we Know: There is chronic under-‐representa+on of teachers of color in U.S. schools, compared to an exis+ng (and growing) popula+on of students of color:
– Children of color1 in U.S. schools represent 47% (in 2015) (NCES) – Teachers of color1 (TOC) in U.S. schools represent 17% (in 2015)
• White teachers, therefore, are ‘over-‐represented’: – White students in U.S. schools represent 49% (in 2015) (NCES) – White teachers in U.S. schools represent 82% (in 2015)
Explana+ons for gap have focused on demographics & pathways into teaching (the pipeline): 1. Demographic changes -‐ growth of students of color outpaced growth of teachers of color into profession
2. Teacher “shortage” -‐ weak supply of TOC into the profession – due to weak recruitment, expanded professional op'ons outside of educa'on, or low pass rates among candidates of color on licensure exams
1Students of Color include: Black/African American, La'no/a, Asian Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaska Na've 1Teachers of Color include: Black/African American, La'no/a, Asian Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaska Na've 16
Recruitment as been successful, Reten'on not so much
Efforts to improve the pathway into teaching have been innova+ve and comprehensive:
1. Financial incen'ves (scholarships, loan forgiveness, bonuses) 2. Recruitment and support to transi'on paraprofessionals into teaching 3. Recruitment and support for 2year college students to transi'on to 4yr colleges
w/ a focus on educa'on 4. Pre-‐college ini'a'ves (cadet programs) targe'ng high school students, 5. Alterna've cer'fica'on programs to target mid-‐career changers, returning
peace corps volunteers, or non-‐educa'on college graduates
**But explana+ons for the racial-‐gap have changed, and so too must policy interven+ons: • Indeed recruitment strategies targeting TOC have been largely successful.
Yet recent data suggest that these efforts alone do not address the major source of the staffing problems and the under-representation of teachers of color — teacher turnover. (Ingersoll and May, 2011)
Effec've Recruitment Efforts: State policies for minority teacher recruitment have been successful, for the most part • A total of 31 states have legisla'on geared for minority teacher recruitment – meaning candidates
of color are explicitly targeted for recruitment into teaching2. Five types of recruitment strategies to diversify the teacher workforce:
1. Financial incen+ves – scholarships, loan forgiveness, etc. 2. Crea+ng government mandates – an agency is required to take ac'ons to support
teacher diversity goals. They typically prepare a plan to recruit teachers of color, submit reports about progress, conduct studies about strategies, and iden'fy the targeted needs within specific underrepresented groups. Agencies include: state commission of educa'on, state board/department of educa'on, professional standards commission, school district, district board of educa'on, college/university
3. Suppor+ng specific types of recruitment programs -‐ pre-‐college/high school programs, 2-‐year college transi'on, and targe'ng paraprofessional to teach, returning peace corps volunteers
4. Establishing recruitment centers
5. Alternate cer+fica+on programs as a pathway to teaching

FINDINGS
State Policies Promoting Teacher Diversity
Table 1 summarizes the results of our systematic review of existing minority teacher policydocuments nationwide. As shown, 31 states currently have recruitment policies in place thatspecifically target racial/ethnic minorities for teaching. Some of these policies were adopted in theearly 1990s and have been retained since then; others were adopted more recently. Our analysisrevealed that states use five types of policy strategies to move their teacher diversity agendaforward—financial incentives, government mandates, specific recruitment programs, recruitmentcenters, and alternative certification programs. The most common policy strategy (evident in 25of the 31 states identified) involves the use of financial incentives in the form of scholarships,grants, and forgivable loans to pay for or to defray the cost of preparing and credentialing peopleof color for teaching. In some cases, incentive recipients are expected to spend three years ormore teaching within the state, often in hard-to-staff schools and/or a subject area of high teachershortage (e.g., special education, bilingual education). The overwhelming majority of states withfinancial incentive policies specifically target people of color as recipients (e.g., the MinorityTeachers of Illinois Scholarship Program). A few of the states, however, frame this policy morebroadly, offering financial support to qualified people preparing to become teachers, includingminorities (e.g., the Kansas Teacher Service Scholarship Program).
A second strategy used widely across states to diversify the teaching workforce—noted in 17states—is to adopt a government mandate requiring an agency (e.g., state commission of edu-cation, state board/department of education, professional standards commission, school district,district board of education, college/university) to take specific actions to support their teacherdiversity goals. Such mandates include preparing a plan to recruit teachers of color, submittinga report with data about the number of minority teachers employed, conducting studies aboutstrategies for recruiting and retaining minority teachers, and identifying the need for teachersin specific underrepresented groups. Three states in this group (AR, KY, and TN) have policies

See Villegas & Lucas, 2012
States use several combina+ons of strategies for recruitment (Villegas et al, 2012):
– Twelve states use a single policy strategy (DE, GA, IN, KS, NJ, NM, NY, RI, TX, VT, WV, WI).
– Nineteen other states have adopted a policy package of two to four strategies.
– South Carolina has the most comprehensive policy package (including a government mandate, a specific recruitment program, financial incen'ves, and a recruitment center).
– Financial incen'ves and mandates seem to be the most frequent policy strategy – and the founda'on of state policy ini'a'ves to diversify the teaching force. All but one of the 31 states with a minority teacher recruitment policy (NJ) use one or both of these strategies.
Alterna+ve cer+fica+on programs are fast becoming a major strategy of recruitment
While Recruitment Efforts have been Successful, Reten'on has Not • The representa'on of minority teachers—collec'vely—grew at a faster
pace (92%) than that of their white counterparts (42%). For example:
– Among minority teacher groups, La+no teachers had most growth (260% increase),
– Teachers of Asian/Pacific Islander background had 2nd fastest growth (130% increase).
– Black teachers increased by (27%), but their white, La'no, and Asian/Pacific Island peers outpaced them. As a result, Black teachers lost ground in their propor'onal representa'on within the overall teaching popula'on. In 2007, Black teachers made up 7.0% of the overall teaching force, while in 1987 they accounted for a higher 8.2%.
• In other words: the total teaching popula'on expanded over the years, with La'nos and Asians/Pacific Islanders with fast growth, and then Whites and Blacks with slower growths.
• As such, the propor'onal representa'on of teachers of color has risen, but
not by a large percentage -‐ from 13% in 1987 to 17% in 2007.

information in the top panel (Comparison—Minority and White Groups) is encouraging forthose who advocate for diversifying the teaching force. The number of minority teachers roseconsistently over the years, from 299,627 in 1987 to 575,364 by 2007, a 92% increase (or gainof 275,737 minority teachers). During the same time span, the number of white teachers grew by42%, reaching 2,829,140 in 2007 up from 1,994,389 20 years earlier (a gain of 834,751 teachers).Because the size of the minority teacher population was considerably smaller than that of thewhite teacher population in 1987 (the baseline year against which we are measuring growth), themuch larger relative increase noted in the representation of teachers of color gives an inflatedimpression of their actual growth. To provide a more balanced understanding of the teacherdiversity increase reported above, it is helpful to consider changes over time in the percentageof teachers of color within the overall teaching force. As shown in Table 2, the proportionalrepresentation of minority teachers rose from 13% in 1987 to 16.9% in 2007. Thus, the numericalgrowth of the minority teaching population over the 20-year period represents an expansion ofonly 3.9 percentage points within the teacher workforce.
Table 2 reveals that the largest increase in minority teachers occurred between 1993 and 1999.During that six-year period a total of 125,991 new minority teachers were added to the group.As a result, minorities picked up 2.2 percentage points in the overall teacher population (goingfrom 13.5% to 15.7%). It is probably no coincidence that this gain occurred precisely whenprivate foundations were making a sizeable investment in minority teacher recruitment programs,as discussed above. During the eight-year period that followed, the minority teacher populationcontinued to expand, although at a slower pace. Specifically, between 1999 and 2007 another104,684 minority teachers were hired and their representation in the overall teacher workforcerose to a high of 16.9% (a gain of 1.2 percentage points from six years earlier).
Inspection of the data presented in the bottom panel of Table 2 shows that patterns of participa-tion in the teaching force varied widely between and among the different minority groups during

Reten+on: A Renewed Focus for Educa'on Leaders & Policymakers
“While there is s'll not parity between the propor'ons of minority students and minority teachers in schools, the teaching force has rapidly grown more diverse.
This was also true for male minority teachers… Over the past 20 years, the number of white male teachers increased by only 18%, but the number of minority male teachers increased by 92%. Currently, males represent about 24% of white
teachers and of minority teachers” (Ingersoll et. al., 2011, p. 63.)
“While minori'es have entered teaching at higher rates than whites over the past two decades, minority teachers also have le8 schools at higher rates. …In recent years, minority teachers were more likely to migrate from one school to another or
to leave teaching altogether. This was especially true for male minority teachers.” (Ingersoll et. al., 2011, pg. 63)
“The data show that at the beginning of the 2003-‐04 school year, about 47,000 minority teachers entered teaching; however, by the following year, about 56,000 minority teachers had le8 teaching. These data convey an image of a revolving
door: too many going in one door and out another.” (Ingersoll et. al., 2011, p. 64)

Sources of AFri'on Among Educators of Color “Non-‐policy” related sources of aHri+on include: 1. Re'rement 2. Compe''ve job opportuni'es in other professions 3. Personal reasons and family-‐related decisions
“Policy-‐Related” Sources of AHri+on for Teachers of Color: 1. Student Characteris+cs
– Previous studies suggested that teachers leave schools with high numbers of low-‐income children to work in schools serving more affluent students
– This theory, however, does not fit with the a;ri<on pa;erns of teachers of color; and has also been challenged more recently for white educators (see Simon & Johnson, 2015)
2. Working Condi+ons shape voluntary departures – Organiza'onal factors and school working condi'ons are a primary issue
iden'fied by depar'ng teachers (see Ingersoll & May, 2011) 3. Accountability Mandates & Sanc+ons shape involuntary departures
– ‘hard-‐to-‐staff’ schools, where teachers of color more ooen work, face sanc'ons and puni've accountability mandates – less studied, needed research (Lipman et. al., 2014; Weber et. al., 2014).
Recommenda'ons for Policy & Na'onal Leaders CommiFed to a Diverse Workforce
1. Encourage more States to adopt recruitment legisla+on, targe'ng TOCs
2. Encourage exis'ng States to develop more comprehensive plans, u'lizing a variety of strategies, including: financial incen'ves, government mandates, recruitment centers, special programs (e.g. pre-‐college programs), and alterna've cer'fica'on programs targe'ng mid-‐career, paraprofessionals.
3. Invest significantly more support for reten+on efforts, including both ‘voluntary’ and “involuntary” sources of aFri'on: • Efforts to minimize voluntary aHri+on should focus on management, leadership, and working condi'ons in schools that impact teacher autonomy and decision-‐making.
• Efforts to minimize involuntary sources of aHri+on should focus on the disparate and adverse impact of accountability policies, school closings, and recons'tu'on plans on teachers of color who more ooen work in schools targeted for interven'on.
4. Leverage research to support the protec+on of teachers’ civil rights and professional authority – connected to pending class ac'on lawsuits by veteran educators of color fired en mass in urban ci'es like New Orleans, as well as poli'cal debates about teacher unionism and collec've bargaining rights.

• The Department of Educa<on has already established a strong partnership with the City University of New York to recruit graduates from teacher prepara<on programs, with 35% of this past year's NYC Teaching Fellows being people of color.
Pathways 2 Teaching (High School Cadet Program)
The Pathways2Teaching program is designed to encourage high school students of color to explore the teaching profession as a viable career choice by viewing the work of teachers as an act of social jus<ce. In
other words, the teaching profession is presented as an opportunity for engaging with, giving back to, and disrup<ng educa<onal inequi<es in and for their communi<es. The curriculum has an explicit focus on preparing students for college through rigorous coursework and
experiences that foster students' abili<es to analyze, synthesize, and cri<cally evaluate a range of complex issues that exist in poor
communi<es-‐ the very challenges experienced by many of our students.

Call Me MISTER program Call Me MISTER is focused on diversifying the
teaching field by recruiting, training, and empowering transformative Black male educators. Since its inception in 2000 at Clemson University, the program has provided a resounding answer to the question "where are the Black male teachers?" by introducing young Black men to the classroom
at early stages and training them to become not just traditional teachers, but transformative role models
inside and outside of the classroom. Emmanuel Little is the director of the Call Me MISTER
