| Summary | Annotation This groundbreaking volume provides crucial information on the current state of diversity in independent schools. Featuring the objective findings of a 5-year study alongside personal stories by teachers and students of colour, this book offers a unique look at the progress independent schools are making to attract and retain teachers of colour. A must-read for all those who truly want to diversify their schools, this volume features powerful testimony by independent school faculty of colour, including the individual stories of African-American, Chinese-American, Native-American, Cuban-American, and Latino-American educators. It discusses how important a diverse teaching force is for creating a positive school culture for all students, and provides a framework useful in gauging the challenges of recruiting and retaining teachers in a shrinking national teaching pool. |
