For students of color to thrive in the classroom, they need to see themselves represented in their teachers and mentors. Creating that reality requires removing the systemic barriers that limit the recruitment, preparation, and retention of educators of color.
In this report, we spotlight the work of the Massachusetts Educator Diversity Act Coalition to push for policy and practice change in diversifying the educator workforce in a cohesive and tactical way.
We draw on perspectives shared during eleven in-depth interviews with members representing the breadth of diversity at the coalition table, and present findings on the conditions for success, the actions taken, and outcomes and lessons learned from statewide efforts to bring the voice of BILPOC students and educators into policy and advocacy.
