San Diego County serves a half-million students across 42 districts, almost 70% of whom identify as a person of color, while only 25% of teachers do.
SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Foundation Tuesday awarded $150,000 to Teach For America San Diego in a pilot initiative to recruit and place 30 teachers of color throughout several school districts in San Diego County.
Studies have found that a representation gap in who teaches and leads children can perpetuate systemic barriers to access and opportunity that disproportionately impact students of color. According to research by Johns Hopkins University, Black students who had just one Black teacher by third grade were 13% more likely to enroll in college -- and those who'd had two were 32% more likely.
According to the foundation, Nearly half of the 506,000 students in San Diego County identify as Latinx, but fewer than 20% of the educators do.
