ABSTRACT

Seeking to enhance efforts to diversify the teaching profession, this article centers the educational experiences of high school Students of Color. Using a Critical Race Theory framework, this study examines the relationship between Students’ of Color school experiences and their perceptions of the teaching profession. Findings reveal that these students perceive the teaching profession as a boring, undervalued, and white profession, and that conversations about pursuing college and exploring a career in teaching are absent from the classroom or presented as only the purview of white students. Race conscious recommendations to encourage and support Students of Color to pursue college and to explore a teaching career are presented.

摘要

为了加强教学行业的多元化，本文着重介绍了有色人种高中生的教育经历。本研究使用批判种族理论框架，考察了色彩学生的学习经历与他们对教学专业的看法之间的关系。调查结果表明，这些学生认为教学职业是一种无聊，被低估的白人职业，而课堂上却没有关于追求大学和探索教学职业的对话，或者仅仅是白人学生的权限。提出了具有种族意识的建议，以鼓励和支持有色人种的学生上大学并探索教学事业。
