Preferred term

diversifying the teacher workforce  

Definition

  • The need to diversify the teacher workforce became a topic of public discussion in the United States during the late 1980s, when conflicting demographic trends in the student and teacher populations could not be ignored. While the term diversity has different dimensions, it is used in this entry to refer to a person's race or ethnicity.
