Last summer, the School of Educational Studies<\/a>\u2019 Dr. Allison Hintz, associate professor; Dr. Yue Bian, assistant professor; and Amy Couto, assistant director of Academic Services, were awarded a LEADER initiative grant from College Spark Washington focusing on community-driven solutions to elevate representation in Washington state\u2019s education workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This grant, which funds two years of relationship building and ideating around this issue, is the most current development in a project that began pre-pandemic, after an assessment provided to SES alumni revealed challenges around diversity, equity and inclusion within the state\u2019s teacher workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This initiative, say the faculty, is a much-needed inquiry into an issue that heavily impacts students of color in Washington, who are now the majority in the state\u2019s public schools as cited in a recent article in The Seattle Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work is a powerful example of the University of Washington Bothell\u2019s framework of cross-disciplinary scholarship, connected learning and community engagement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mentors like themselves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amy Couto, assistant director of Academic Services in the School of Educational Studies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Couto, taking note from academic advisers in other schools around campus, administered a graduation survey to SES students in 2019. As they began compiling the results, they noticed a few themes emerge \u2014 in particular, that SES students of color faced many challenges regarding their racial, cultural and linguistic identities once they began student teaching and entered the workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome of what we learned from that early survey, in broad strokes, were that things can get hard when our students go out into the field. There is a disproportionate ratio of pre-service teachers of color to practicing teachers who serve in mentoring roles,\u201d Hintz said. \u201cIf our pre-service teachers are around 50% candidates of color, 40% first-generation and 30% multi-lingual, and they enter a workforce of mentoring teachers who are upwards 90% mono-lingual white women, it creates a challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That challenge \u2014 a lack of a feeling of belonging and conditions to thrive \u2014 leads to the attrition of teachers of color. It is a multi-faceted issue, note the SES faculty, requiring a multi-pronged approach that they and their colleagues are slowly piecing together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re learning that we need to improve the landscape in the field and to work with people in mentoring roles,\u201d said Hintz. \u201cWe need to design professional learning modules for anti-racist pedagogies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The faculty also found there was a need to create more professional learning for mentors to help them view candidates of color with an \u201casset lens\u201d in order to see and value the cultural wealth candidates of color bring to school communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Culturally relevant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChallenges sometimes arise when our pre-service teachers are in their student teaching placements and are paired with a mentor teacher in that elementary school,\u201d said Couto. \u201cThey\u2019re learning from a mentor, they\u2019re fully immersed in the world of an elementary school, and that is an experience that can be a challenge for some students who may not have a background of being in these types of environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur multi-lingual students and students of color sometimes feel unwelcome in their teaching placements because the assets they bring are viewed with a deficit lens.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Yue Bian, assistant professor, School of Educational Studies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When diverse teachers are viewed and treated this way, it perpetuates attrition and leads to the lack of diversity in the field. \u201cI can\u2019t even remember how many times my students have come to me saying, \u2018Hey, you’re the first first-generation immigrant teacher and multi-lingual professor that we\u2019ve had,\u2019\u201d said Bian. \u201cYou don’t see a lot of people like me in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMinoritized teacher candidates need to see themselves represented to know they belong,\u201d she noted, \u201cbut a lot of times what they see is mismatched \u2014 between who they are versus their mentor-teacher, their colleagues or the people in power such as principals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In seeing few teachers who look like them, K-12 students of color internalize harmful stereotypes about themselves. At the same time, white children don\u2019t have the opportunity to see people of color in leadership roles. Creating an inclusive environment for teachers of diverse backgrounds serves to enhance the learning of all K-12 students, as one SES alumni who is Muslim and Southeast Asian, points out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing culturally relevant doesn\u2019t mean to celebrate their holidays and traditions at school,\u201d said Ana Radzi (Elementary Education \u201921), a substitute teacher for Seattle Public Schools. \u201cRather it is a mindset that focuses on students\u2019 identities, values and backgrounds as an asset that can be incorporated into their learning. The key ingredient to understanding a student\u2019s values, culture and unique needs can\u2019t be accomplished without building a strong relationship that is grounded in sincerity, trust and compassion. Only through a strong relationship with their teachers will students share their true selves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support for the work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With these themes emerging, Hintz, Bian and Couto set out to find funding to help them address this issue at the systems level. They first applied for a UW Diversity and Inclusion Seed Grant, which is designed to support projects that align with the University\u2019s Diversity Blueprint<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Allison Hintz, associate professor, School of Educational Studies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They received the grant in spring 2021, with which they developed a survey that would help them specifically understand the challenges faced by newly graduated teachers. Their goal was to use the responses to inform an SES-specific diversity blueprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPart of what\u2019s exciting about being at UW Bothell is we draw from the rich diversity of our undergraduate students so that children in our schools see themselves in teachers,\u201d said Hintz. \u201cBut there\u2019s a lot to understand about the systemic barriers that pre-service teachers from marginalized communities experience in their journeys to becoming teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As they conducted this early research, Couto learned of the LEADER grant through College Spark, which would allow them to expand their work and hopefully begin implementing some potential solutions within their program and the teaching field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of the Leaders in Education Advancing Diversity, Equity and Racial Justice Initiative is to fund community-driven projects that address racism in Washington\u2019s teacher workforce, citing that \u201cBIPOC students who are exposed to teachers who reflect their race and ethnicity have higher graduation rates, and when adults in schools reflect communities, authentic school\/community partnership are better positioned to transform schools in ways that dismantle racism and benefit from the wisdom and vision of families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foundation of relationships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To do the sort of sustaining systems-level work that could make these outcomes more prevalent, College Spark encourages its grantees to conduct two years of co-planning and community building with other stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a unique opportunity because building relationships is the deliverable at this phase,\u201d Hintz said. \u201cCollege Spark understands that in order to interrupt the current systems and to effect deep and sustaining change, we have to have strong relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have time to breathe and consider the assets we all bring to this work \u2014 for example, to learn the hopes and dreams of children from the Tulalip Tribes, and to learn what we as a school can do to support more Indigenous teachers in classrooms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hintz, Bian and Couto have built a regional coalition encompassing university teacher preparation programs, school districts and community-based organizations. Their core collaborators include Chelsea Craig from the Marysville School District, Dulce Ruiz from Everett Public Schools, Tracy Meloy from Northshore School District and Mary Wilber from the Eastside Native American Education Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional coalition partners include: Dr. Carrie Tzou and Kellie Holden, Goodlad Institute for Educational Renewal at UW Bothell<\/a>; Rob Baumgartner, Edmonds School District; Jared Kirk, Everett Education Association; Kevin Allen, Everett Public Schools; Alejandro Vergara, Marysville School District; Robbi Reed, Northshore Education Association; Chris Bigelow, Ranna Harb, Srinivas Khedam and Ayva Thomas with Northshore School District Race & Educational Justice Department; Diana White, Teachers of Color Foundation for the Edmonds School District; Doug Hale and Jon Young, Northshore School District; and Jessica Bustad, Tulalip Tribes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A more diverse workforce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Through 2024, said Hintz, the coalition members will work to deepen their relationships and to discuss ideas that could help \u201cregional partners to recruit and serve teachers from historically underrepresented groups in education, improve retention and graduation rates for teachers of color, and prepare an educational system that is designed to sustain the well-being and thriving of culturally and linguistically diverse teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ideas will then be developed into a plan for systems-level change that will better support and celebrate Washington state\u2019s diverse K-12 students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As they look toward the future, Hintz, Bian and Couto already have plans in place to apply for the next phase of funding (also through College Spark) that would provide six years of funding to implement the plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEducation lives at the heart of our democracy, and if we want to build a more just society, we need to build more just schools,\u201d Hintz said. \u201cWe are excited to work with each other and with our students to design a better educational system so children see themselves in their teachers, go into the teaching profession and serve as mentors for future teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat is how we will build more just schools.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UW Bothell offers a Master of Education<\/a> that is designed to serve the educational and professional goals of currently certificated K-12 teachers and practitioners in a variety of fields. The Critical Educational Change and Leadership concentration positions students to work against inequity in all aspects of human life.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
