Amid national concern about increased teacher attrition and a growing attention to workforce diversity, many states and districts are taking a variety of actions to attract and retain teachers of color (Education Trust, undated). A racially and ethnically diverse teaching workforce is crucial for the social, emotional, and academic development of all students and is particularly critical for students of color (Bristol and Martin-Fernandez, 2019; Carver-Thomas, 2018). Teachers of color can play a critical role in connecting with students of color through shared language, improvement of students’ aspirations for their futures, and increasing feelings of school connectedness for students (Egalite and Kisida, 2018; Flores et al., 2007).
