The number and percentage of students of color are growing in Washington state, yet the teacher workforce remains largely White. This means that few students of color have teachers who share their race or ethnicity, which could have consequences for student achievement and well-being. To better understand the state’s shortage of teachers of color, REL Northwest investigated where teacher candidates—especially candidates of color—are most likely to leave the Washington teacher preparation and career pathway.
Join us on Monday, November 22, to learn about the study’s findings and discuss the implications for policy and practice.
REL Northwest’s goal is to deepen collaboration and evidence use among educators and policymakers on important educational issues identified by stakeholders across the Northwest region. Together, we are putting research into action.
