In this commentary in EdSource, Travis Bristol, faculty affiliate of ISSI's Center for Research on Social Change, addresses the question: "Why should we care about teachers of color in our California classrooms?" Bristol sheds light on isolated cases of county offices of education and local school districts working extensively to remedy this. However, due to this isolation, these counties and districts are often reinventing solutions and missing out on opportunities to share resources and learning. Bristol offers a set of recommendations on how to better support educators of color.
