Resumo

A diversidade racial docente tem sido amplamente considerada importante na educação. No entanto, ainda não está claro até que ponto e como a diversidade racial de professores tem sido abordada nos níveis federal, estadual e distrital. Neste estudo, empregamos text mining para coletar e analisar mais de três milhões de documentos nos níveis federal, estadual e distrital. Descobrimos que, embora os alunos de cor tivessem desproporcionalmente menos acesso a professores racialmente diversos, os documentos sob nossa análise discutiam insuficientemente o recrutamento e a retenção de professores racialmente diversos. Nossas descobertas também revelam que as agências de educação nos níveis federal, estadual e distrital prestaram pouca atenção ao recrutamento e retenção de professores hispânicos. Para os estados e distritos que discutiram o recrutamento de professores com diversidade racial, eles recrutaram principalmente professores de instituições e organizações que atendem principalmente pessoas de cor, como Faculdades e Universidades Historicamente Negras, Columbia Latino/a Law Student Association, National Association of Profissionais Asiáticos Americanos e a National Black MBA Association. Dadas as descobertas e o crescimento projetado de matrículas de alunos negros e hispânicos nos Estados Unidos, fornecemos cinco recomendações de políticas para formuladores de políticas e líderes para diversificar racialmente a força de trabalho de professores em meio a mudanças demográficas estudantis, particularmente estudantes hispânicos.
