CONNECTING RESEARCH, POLICY & PRACTICE
Growing and supporting a diverse teaching workforce is critical to advancing student success. Several projects led by Conra Gist, an associate professor at the University of Houston College of Education, are designed to address and inform these timely issues around educator diversity. The goal is to recruit, support, and retain an ethnoracially diverse educator workforce.
