Teacher Of Color Retention

A teaching force which is representative of the student population is critical to creating 
equitable learning opportunities in the increasingly diverse United States. Both students of color 
and White students must see themselves represented in their teachers. Additionally, it is 
important for all students to see people of color as educators as well as in positions of power. 
Unfortunately, the proportion of teachers of color currently in the field of education does not 
come close to the proportion of students of color in public schools in the United States.
