Bill > H573

This bill establishes a Special Commission on Teacher Diversification in Massachusetts to study and make recommendations for increasing diversity in the state's teaching workforce. The 21-member commission will evaluate existing teacher recruitment programs, identify best practices, and create a comprehensive plan to develop a more representative cadre of minority teachers. The commission's recommendations will focus on strategies to address racial achievement gaps, increase enrollment and retention of minority students in higher education and teacher preparation programs, and implement targeted recruitment programs for minority teaching candidates, with a particular emphasis on the state's gateway cities. The commission is required to report its findings and legislative recommendations to the state legislature and governor within one year of its establishment.
