Summit on Project Pipeline Repair: Restoring Minority Male Participation and Persistence in Educator Preparation Programs

Date:

10/02/2019 to 10/05/2019

Location:

Southern University A & M at Baton Rouge

Description:

Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and other minority-serving institutions (MSIs) are uniquely positioned to engage higher education policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholder organizations to increase the participation of males of color throughout the teacher pipeline. Project Pipeline Repair is a strategic, research-based approach that emphasizes cross-sector collaboration as foundational to solving three nationwide problems: teacher shortages, the lack of teacher diversity, and the teaching profession narrative. Participants have learned a great deal since the project’s inception in 2016 but are eager to learn more and ensure the sustainability and scalability of this promising equity-focused initiative.

On October 2-5, 2019, the Summit will bring together P-16 policy, institutional, and community leaders to culminate a three-year collaboration between state agencies, HBCUs, and partnering school districts across four states to engage in peer-to-peer learning from educator preparation policy and practice experts. Representatives from other organizations with similar interests, purposes, and aims are welcome to submit proposals and attend the Summit as well.

Project Pipeline Repair is possible through funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
