Short Description

According to the U.S. Department of Education (2017), African American students comprise about 15% of our public-school students.  However, African American teachers only represent roughly 7% of the teaching workforce overall (NCES, 2017) and less than two percent for African American males (U.S. Department of Education, 2016). The same holds true for Latino male teachers, despite the fact that the Latino student population is the fastest growing in the country, making up about a quarter of K-12 students (Wilson, 2018). The Center for American Progress (Bireda & Chait, 2011) has discussed retention strategies, such as providing mentoring and induction programs, creating career ladders and diverse roles for teachers, and differentiating pay, in previous work to attract and retain teachers. Strategies to increase the number of minority teachers (specifically male teachers) must also operate in this framework and focus on developing training and tools to ensure these teachers will be effective in the classroom.  The CalStateTEACH program utilizes these methods and can serve as a model for other teacher preparation programs, especially as many teacher preparation programs seek methods to engage and retain African American and Latino male candidates. Our presentation will focus on the methods our program employs to recruit, engage and retain African-American and Latino male teacher candidates.
