A Funding Guide for More Diverse Schools in California

Diversity does not happen in a vacuum. It takes strategic and meaningful action to increase access and opportunity. Policy, practice, and funding priorities need to shift in order for diversity initiatives to be effective and sustainable.

This guide was created by the California Coalition for Educator Diversity as a public resource for educators and districts committed to diversifying the educator workforce and meeting the needs of diverse students. It contains allocations and grants available to individual teachers, LEAs and to support professional development.

The California Coalition for Educator Diversity is a collaboration of researchers and advocates brought together by the UCLA Center for the Transformation of Schools who are committed to advancing teacher diversity and equity in schools.
