California effort to hire more men of color as teachers
California’s State superintendent of schools is backing a new bill to improve teacher diversity. The measure would allocate millions of dollars to get more male teachers of color in classrooms across California.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - For many students, the reflection of the face staring back at them in the classroom can be indicative of success, according to California State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond. He supports Assembly Bill 520.
"The research has shown us for years that there are benefits to students of color when there’s at least just one educator of color on a campus," Thurmond said Tuesday.
