Join Conra D. Gist (University of Houston) Travis J. Bristol (University of California – Berkeley), and Eric Duncan (The Education Trust) for this first in a series of webinars on the importance of having an ethnoracially diverse educator workforce and how to make it happen.

For part one, we’ll feature a panel of education researchers from around the country who contributed to Kappan’s recent special report “Building a More Ethnoracially Diverse Teaching Force: New Directions in Research, Policy, and Practice”. Panelists will share their deep content expertise on the importance of recruitment, retention, and support of teachers of color.

Panelists will include:

• Margarita Bianco, Associate Professor, University of Colorado Denver
• Rita Kohli, Associate Professor, University of California – Riverside
• Desiree Carver-Thomas, Research & Policy Analyst, Learning Policy Institute
