Below are the five primary recommendations made by the CDE Educator Diversity Advisory Group.
Create communities of practice for county offices of education and for local school districts to build their capacity to recruit, support, and retain teachers of color
Maintain sustainable funding, measure outcomes for teacher diversity, and identify focal support factors at the state, county, and district levels 2 | California Department of Education
Provide guidance and accountability for local education agencies (LEAs) so grant funds support the development of foundational equity-based processes/ practices
Promote deeper partnerships and collaboration among LEAs, institutes of higher education (IHEs), and community-based organizations (CBOs) to build institutional pathways for candidates of color
Develop a public awareness campaign for recruiting teachers of color; continue to co-sponsor educator diversity statewide legislation
