Abstract: This book features the findings of a 5-year study on independent schools alongside personal stories by teachers and students of color. It analyzes teacher diversity in 11 independent schools and includes a list of provocative questions to help schools evaluate their own progress. It includes specific guidelines to help educators close the faculty diversity gap in their schools. The intended outcome is an enhanced understanding of ways that independent schools can attract and retain greater numbers of teachers of color.
