The Diversifying the Teacher Pipeline with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) Partnership is focused on increasing knowledge and the implementation and dissemination of evidence-based practices to inform pre-service and in-service initiatives to enhance and diversify the educator pipeline and workforce. With partners from HBCUs, state and local educational agencies, the partnership promotes collaboration and coordination among entities to engage in technical support and research activities that will inform initiatives being conducted at the institutional level at HBCUs, as well as at state and district levels.
Partner organizations: Jackson State University (JSU), Tougaloo College, Mississippi Department of Education (Office of Teaching and Leading, Division of Educator Talent Acquisition, Division of Educator Preparation), Vicksburg-Warren School District, National Institutes for Historically-Underserved Students (NIHUS), Florida A & M University, Other Affiliated Mississippi Post-Secondary Success at HBCUs Research Consortium Partners (Alcorn State University, Hinds Community College-Utica Campus, Mississippi Valley State University, Rust College), Innovative Behavioral Services, Inc.
Current projects
This project is designed to increase participants’ knowledge of initiatives being implemented at the state, district, and institutional levels to grow the teacher pipeline. Project activities will also support participants’ enhanced knowledge of evidence-based strategies to inform their decision-making and the implementation of initiatives to grow the pipeline at different points of the process. The inclusion of stakeholders at varying levels (state, district, institutions) and “touch points” (that is, pre-service, in-service) for growing the teacher pipeline provides promise to increase the understanding and enhance the implementation of evidence-based strategies to diversify the teacher workforce at different key points of the pipeline.
