Teacher Diversity District Tool

The teacher diversity district tool is designed to help state education agency staff support districts in identifying gaps in the diversity of their teacher workforces. The tool generates district-level reports that provide the racial/ethnic make-up of a district's student and teacher populations and its three- and five-year teacher retention rates by race and ethnicity. The template can be used to prepare reports for any number of districts but is intended to produce reports for around 20 to 30 districts. For 20 to 30 districts, the template will take approximately two to three hours to use, depending on the availability of the necessary data. For a larger number of districts, the template may take substantially longer to use.

The teacher diversity district tool includes three components:

1. Instructions document: Provides an explanation of how to compile the data and produce the district reports.
2. Teacher diversity district report data table in Excel: This file is used by state education agency staff to compile the data for each district.
3. Teacher diversity district report in Word: This reporting template uses the data from the Teacher diversity district report data table Excel file to summarize the diversity of each district's teacher workforce and retention rates.
