ADVOCACY | Diversity

Across the nation, policymakers seek to diversify the educator workforce to ensure students engage with educators who share their identities. In light of this need, CASE issued a call for applications to create a valuable resource to support the field in diversifying the special education leadership workforce. The call resulted in the identification of the Diversification of the Special Education Leadership Workforce Task Force (DSEL-TF). Eighty percent of the Task Force were people of the global majority and included representation from the LGBTQ+ and the disability communities along with many other intersectional identities.
