Why Don’t My Teachers Look Like Me?:
Varying Perspectives on Diversifying the Teacher Workforce

Despite a rapidly growing diverse student population in Colorado, nearly 90% of our state’s teachers are White, female, and predominantly monolingual English speakers.  Why? Does it matter for students and for student outcomes? How can we change this?

Come listen to and interact with a panel of Colorado students, teachers, district administrators, researchers, and legislators as they provide their perspectives on teacher diversity in Colorado. 

Please join us for this meeting of emerging policy-savvy teachers and education policy leaders. This is a great chance to connect with like-minded colleagues and learn about opportunities to get more involved.

When:   Tuesday, January 19, 20164:30-6:00 p.m.

Where: Terrace Room (Second Floor)
1380 Lawrence Street 
                Denver, CO 80204
Light refreshments will be served to encourage networking before the panel. Time will be reserved for audience questions as well.
The program is free, but space is limited! Please RSVP HERE.
