Diverse Leaders

Overview

Diverse leadership matters. Yet, in a country where the majority of public school students are children of color, diversity in the field— among teachers, leaders, and parent advocates—lags far behind. Since 2015, we have invested in efforts to increase the number of educators and education leaders of color, support parents to advocate for change, and cultivate diversity, equity, and inclusion to build a more just education sector.
