Diversity Goal and Strategy Assessment Toolkit

Region 5 Comprehensive Center
Tennessee's State Board of Education developed Educator Diversity Policy 5.700 to promote the recruitment and retention of educators from different racial and ethnic backgrounds. Accordingly, districts throughout the state develop annual diversity goals that reflect the racial and ethnic diversity of their student population and strategies for achieving the goals. Region 5 Comprehensive Center (R5CC), in consultation with leaders from the Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE), developed a rubric based on the policy to assess the quality and effectiveness of the goals and related recruitment and retention strategies. Although the rubric was designed to meet the needs of education leaders in Tennessee, the tool can be used by education leaders in any state or district to ensure high-quality goals that enhance efforts to diversify the educator workforce. The "Diversity Goal and Strategy Assessment Toolkit" supports education leaders' reflection on and improvement of state or district efforts to recruit and retain educators from different backgrounds. It also provides guidance for using the Diversity Goal Rubric.
