Abstract

HBCUs are instrumental in the proliferation of Black graduates. HBCUs make up only three percent of colleges and universities, yet produce 50% of Black teachers (UNCF, n.d; National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education, 2008). It is critical that researchers and practitioners from predominantly white institutions (PWIs) and other minority serving institutions (MSIs), acknowledge how HBCU yield powerful best practices that strengthen the Black teacher’s pipeline and decrease America’s teacher shortage. The purpose of this study is to identify the policies, practices, and processes implemented at four small liberal arts Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) teacher education program that results in significant contributions to the Black teacher pipeline.
