Chesterfield County Public Schools recognizes that a diverse teaching workforce benefits all staff and students. With more than half of the student population identifying as other than white, Chesterfield County Public Schools is considered a “majority-minority” school division, but division staff does not currently reflect the student population.
The Mirror Me program aims to recruit and retain teachers from diverse backgrounds by increasing the number of underrepresented teachers, changing perceptions of hiring practices, and promoting the importance of the teaching profession to young people.
CCPS has partnered with Brightpoint Community College, VCU, VSU, and CEF to build pathways for students to pursue higher education and become teachers in their own community. CEF has provided ongoing funding support since its launch.
