Dr. Gershenson, Dr. Hansen, and Dr. Lindsay address the historic and contemporary factors that have kept people of color out of teaching, synthesize the research showing the benefits of same-race teacher exposure, and argue that policies focused on improving teacher quality should take race explicitly into consideration. In their book, Teacher Diversity and Student Success: Why Racial Representation Matters in the Classroom, they present nuanced policy recommendations to increase teacher diversity in classrooms and promote more inclusive schools.
Free and open to the public.
