“Research shows that educators of color have a positive impact on all students. That's why I'm a member of the DLI. Currently, there's a shortage of educators of color, especially Black teachers and school leaders working with our students in California public schools. The DLI intends to change that by amplifying the great work that's already happening out there in our schools and by supporting more aspiring school leaders of color along that pipeline toward school leadership.”
