The role a school and its teachers play in a child's life is undeniable. Both influence how children understand the world they live in, their place in that world, and their perceptions of future possibilities. Schools where students have opportunities to engage with multicultural curriculum materials, experience culturally responsive and sustaining school climates, and learn in classrooms led by teachers from racially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse backgrounds are especially impactful. Furthermore, students of color who have teachers of color are also less likely to experience exclusionary discipline practices and are more likely to improve their academic performance and graduate high school. Increasing teacher diversity is thus an effective strategy for creating more equitable learning environments and outcomes for all students. Increasing teacher diversity is of particular importance to the charter school sector as charter schools are more likely to serve students of color than traditional public schools. This publication is designed to support charter school leaders' efforts to achieve educational equity by focusing on one key strategy--building a pipeline of teachers of color through effective recruiting, hiring, and sustaining strategies. This report is divided into the following sections: (1) Section 1 provides an overview of the research on the importance of having a diverse teacher workforce; (2) Section 2 features strategies Drew Charter School and DSST are successfully implementing to recruit, hire, and sustain teachers of color; and (3) Section 3 highlights key strategies for recruiting, hiring, and sustaining teachers of color.
