It highlights evidence that students of color with teachers of color face fewer exclusionary discipline outcomes and show stronger academic performance. It also quantifies representation gaps in charter settings and explains why leaders must use autonomy to recruit, hire, and sustain more teachers of color for equitable learning environments and outcomes.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/","Research & Report",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/educator-diversity-matters-strategies-for-charter-leaders-to-recruit-hire-and-sustain-teachers-of-color-november-2022/585750/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/educator-diversity-matters-strategies-for-charter-leaders-to-recruit-hire-and-sustain-teachers-of-color-november-2022/585750.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Riley West","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-03","2026-10-15",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",8,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"Why does educator diversity matter for students in charter schools?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"The report states that teachers shape how students understand their world and future possibilities.

Both influence how children understand the world they live in, their place in that world, and their perceptions of future possibilities. Schools where students have opportunities to engage with multicultural curriculum materials, experience culturally responsive and sustaining school climates, and learn in classrooms led by teachers from racially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse backgrounds are especially impactful. Students attending schools with these characteristics are more likely to:  \n􀂜 develop positive identities,  \n􀂜 develop cultural competencies that can combat stereotypes,  \n􀂜 reduce unconscious biases, and  \n􀂜 develop greater social cohesion.1  \nFurthermore, students of color who have teachers of color are also less likely to experience exclusionary discipline practices and are more likely to improve their academic performance and graduate high school.2 Increasing teacher diversity is thus an effective strategy for creating more equitable learning environmentsand outcomes for all","cbCailxZgA6GQoRx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailxZgA6GQoRx","pdf",1978145,24,"English","# Introduction\n## Section 1 – Research on the Impact of Recruiting, Hiring, and Sustaining Teachers of Color\n## The Importance of Supporting and Sustaining Teachers of Color\n## Section 2 – Charter School Spotlights\n## Drew Charter School\n## DSST Public Schools\n## Section 3 – Strategies for Recruiting, Hiring, and Sustaining Teachers of Color\n## Recruiting\n## Hiring\n## Sustaining\n## Conclusion\n## References","[{\"question\":\"Why does educator diversity matter for students in charter schools?\",\"answer\":\"The report states that teachers shape how students understand their world and future possibilities.
