Research shows that students of color are more successful when they have a teacher of color. In this session, Greendale Schools will share their journey of increasing the diversity of their teaching staff to be more reflective of their student demographics. Beginning with a community call for action, the district has focused on a Welcoming Diversity Action Plan, and the steps they have taken to attract more candidates of color, and what they have done to support educators of color once they have joined the district. Through a partnership with The New Teacher Project, the district took specific actions to increase the diversity of their teaching staff.
*Session will be recorded at the convention and available to subscribers of the 2022 Convention Recorded Sessions program.
