Of those that did offer such training, 34 percent offered an hour or less per year.  \nData from the Illinois Report Card 1 reveals persistent gaps, which research suggests may be driven in part by implicit bias.2 Students of color continue to be underrepresented in Advanced Placement and gifted and talented programming. They continue to score below their white peerson standardized tests and are three times more likely to be suspended compared to white students.3 Students of color are also 50 percent more likely to be chronically absent than their white counterparts. Black students are twice as likely to not graduate as compared to white students, while rates of dropping out for Latinx students is 30 percent higher than white students as well. A similar story persists with low-income students, English Learner students, and students with Individualized Education Programs. Professional learning that develops cultural competency and helps educators understand and reduce implicit bias, which for the duration of this document will be referred to as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training, is one important step school districts can take to address persistent disproportionate student outcomes.  \nEchoing gaps that we see with students, Illinois’ faculty and leadership populations in addition do not reflect the makeup of the state’s students. For example, 53 percent of the state’s student population are students of color. However, white teachers make up 83 percent of the teaching force. This cultural mismatch, where the majority of teachers represent a different cultural background than the majority of students they teach, contributes to the widening racial disparities in education.  \nProposed Evaluation: In Illinois, the Standards of Professional Learning create the foundation for equitable and effective professional learning for educators. When choosing a potential provider, districts need criterion for evaluating and identifying high-quality DEI training that is aligned to the Standards for Professional Learning. The Diversity Equity and Inclusion Provider Evaluation Tool seeks to aid districts in the provider selection process by identifying indicators  \n1 “Academic Progress.” ILLINOIS, 2020, [www.illinoisreportcard.com/state.aspx?source=trends](www.illinoisreportcard.com/state.aspx?source=trends)  .  \n2 Chin MJ, Quinn DM, Dhaliwal TK, Lovison VS.
