Diversifying the Teacher Workforce critically examines efforts to diversify the teaching force and narrow the demographic gap between who teaches and who populates U.S. classrooms. "This is an important call to action for a diverse and well-qualified teaching force that reflects the next generation of American students. As the authors make clear, segregation takes many forms, and we must extend our focus beyond just the students in the classroom."- Benjamin Todd Jealous, former President & CEO, NAACP "A challenging and persuasive book that examines how racism has contributed to the lack of diversity in the teaching force, this is an essential read for all educators and policy makers interested in insightful analysis and innovative solutions across various contexts."- Jacqueline Jordan Irvine, Candler Professor Emeritus, Emory University
