註釋Teacher Diversity and Student Success makes a powerful case for diversifying the teaching force as an important policy lever for closing achievement gaps and moving schools closer to equity goals.

Written by three leading scholars, the book outlines solutions for diversifying the teaching force, increasing student exposures to same-race teachers, and improving teacher training for a culturally diverse student body. They argue that teacher diversity should be seen as one element of teacher quality, and that policies focused on improving teacher quality should take race into consideration.

The authors also address the historic and contemporary factors that have kept people of color out of teaching and highlight emerging research showing the significant, long-lasting impact of same-race teacher exposures, particularly for Black and Latino students.

This timely book is a call to action for building teacher diversity to ensure student success.

"This text is a must-read for practitioners, policy makers, and researchers seeking to understand the underrepresentation of teachers of color in US public schools. Equally important, Gershenson, Hansen, and Lindsay provide clear state and local policy prescriptions to increase the ethnoracial diversity of America's teachers."

--Travis J. Bristol, assistant professor, University of California, Berkeley's Graduate School of Education

"The relevance of teacher diversity, particularly for students of color, has recently emerged as one of the most well-established findings in all of education research. This important and timely book, written by leading researchers on this topic, both summarizes that body of research and provides a thoughtful and multifaceted guide to action for practitioners and policy makers."

--Thomas S. Dee, Barnett Family Professor, Stanford University
