Of special concern is the gap between the number of minority students in California schools and the diversity of the state's teaching population. In May 1989, a CTA task force was created in response to a CTA State Council of Education directive to establish an ongoing program to recruit minority teachers. The report and its conclusions are even more relevant today.
Teaching is both a challenging and rewarding profession.
CTA wants to encourage students to seriously consider pursuing a career in an education-related field. The kit includes colorful posters, buttons, pencils and a how-to guide. Concentrate on recruiting ethnic minority students as future teachers. Encourage students to accept leadership positions and take responsibility for their future career in education. Cultivate in students a greater understanding of the value of education and of their role in assisting others.
