DEI & Social Justice
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Handbook
The AACTE DEI Handbook (2020) features successful ways AACTE members implement at their educator preparation programs (EPPs) in pursuit of diversity, equity, and inclusion. It highlights strategies that support faculty and staff professional development in the areas of culturally responsive and sustaining pedagogy and practices. Additionally, effective ways EPPs support the recruitment and retention of a racially and ethnically diverse educator candidate pool are shared.
One of AACTE’s key strategic priorities is to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. AACTE and its members value the diversity of students, their families, and educators; equity in access to high quality instructional environments; and the inclusion of all students, defined as access and opportunity, in PK-20 classrooms.
DEI Video Series
AACTE released its video series on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in educator preparation in 2019 to serve as a resource for the educator preparation community to effectively address the imperative for preparing well qualified teachers to meet the diverse needs of 21st century learners.
AACTE introduced the second season with two videos: Combatting Racial and Social Injustice in Education and Diversifying the Pipeline of School-Education Leaders.
