About Us - Handbook Center

Our mission

The National Center of Research Educator Diversity (NCRED) serves as a research hub committed to dismantling inequity in teacher development systems through supporting the academic and professional advancement of ethnoracially, culturally, and linguistically diverse educators. The aims of the proposed center are as follows:

Establish the knowledge base – NCRED serves as the institutional home for the generation of knowledge grounded in evidence-based outcomes, and for subsequent educator diversity knowledge projects that will be published.

Disseminate the knowledge base – NCRED facilitates the dissemination of research and practitioner scholarship across a wide range of researchers, scholars, and practitioners.

Apply the knowledge base – NCRED operates as an organizing hub for innovative research-practice partnerships (RPPs) committed to educator diversity that will be launched in other regions in the United States.

Handbook of Research on Teachers of Color and Indigenous Teachers

NCRED will be informed and guided by research from the “Handbook of Research on Teachers of Color and Indigenous Teachers,” a knowledge project that involved the collaboration of over 60 researchers from a diverse set of universities across the nation. The handbook will set forth research and policy directives to address knowledge gaps related to recruiting, preparing, supporting and retaining Teachers of Color and Indigenous Teachers in K – 12 schools.
