Abstract

Student demographics in U.S. schools have changed in the last few decades. While student demographics have changed across the U.S. to the point that there are more students of Color than White students, the demographics of teachers and school leaders have remained relatively the same. The purpose of this study was to investigate impacts of a pilot program in which administrators of Color purposefully recruited and mentored teacher leaders of Color into a principal preparation program.

Controlled Subject
