Abstract

Equity in the education profession is of grave importance. The current conditions have elevated matters of social and racial justice in society broadly. As the number of students attending America’s P-12 schools has grown more diverse across racial and ethnic groups, racial parity within the teacher workforce continues to lag. Many stratagems have been employed to expand teacher diversity across the nation with varying effects. We explore one university-based teacher preparation partnership’s efforts to better recruit, develop and retain male teachers of color who themselves seek employment in schools that serve male students of color.
