The project seeks to develop intentional pathways to attract future Black educators and provide multi-faceted supports to assure their success in OISE’s Master of Teaching (MT) Program. Research and policy indicate that teachers’ identities fail to reflect student diversity in K-12 schools and contribute to inequitable outcomes as students miss the benefits of representative role models. This proposal purposefully centers the need for targeted attention to Black applicants, noting the shortcomings of generic EDI approaches to address the persistent gaps and barriers experienced in post-secondary and K-12 education.
