Special Emphasis Recruiting: Intentional Recruitment of Black Women to the Teaching Profession
Hill-Jackson, Val
Theory Into Practice, v59 n4 p429-440 2020
Drawing on calls to diversify the teacher workforce, this paper demonstrates the need for a commitment to diversity and equity in recruiting Black women into the recruiting practices of educational organizations. Three approaches by which educational organizations incorporate diversity and equity into their recruiting practices are organized in a typology: "status quo, strategic, and special emphasis recruiting (SER)." Due to its cultural sensibility, SER can best support recruiters in the education field to develop the cogent recruitment plans that are needed to recruit a highly diverse teacher workforce in general, and BWTs in particular. The paper concludes with a reminder to readers as to the motives for expanding the representation of Black women in our nation's schools.
