Access to teachers of color has a significant impact on student outcomes, including increased graduation and college enrollment and lower suspension and expulsion rates. Yet New York schools struggle to recruit and retain a diverse educator workforce. More than one in five New York students--around 10 percent of Black and Latinx students, 20 percent of Asian students, 33 percent of White students, and 75 percent of Native American students--attend a school with no teachers of color on staff. Limited recruitment strategies, lack of targeted support systems, and challenges with career advancement and financial sustainability present barriers for underrepresented populations to enter and stay in the teaching workforce. By clarifying career pathways and improving recruitment and retention strategies, New York can better diversify its educator pipeline.
