Durbin, Cartwright, Nunn Introduce Legislation To Streamline Collection Of Educator Workforce Data
Statement
Issues: Government Budget and Spending
“Our students, particularly students of color, perform better when taught and cared for by a diverse range of educators and administrators.As our country faces educator workforce shortages, it is essential that we reach out to, recruit, and retain educators that share the background of their students. With the bicameral, bipartisan Strengthening Educator Workforce Data Act, we can take a step forward in this process by examining the demographics of our current workforce so we can invest in effective recruitment and retention programs.”
