The text includes sobering data on the number of minority teachers in America. According to the text, the overwhelming majority of all teachers are white, and the percentage of minority teachers continues to shrink. How do minority teachers fulfill a vital role in education for students of all races, and what would be your suggestions for recruiting more minority teachers into the field?

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER: Suggested answers: Students should discuss the function minority teachers serve as role models for both minority and white children. The need for positive role models is particularly strong in troubled school districts where children sometimes have few positive influences in their lives. In addition, minority teachers also reflect the diversity of the U.S. population and provide white students with models that may help break stereotypes and biases. Answers will vary on ways of recruiting more minority teachers into the field.
