Abstract
This chapter will detail how one university in the United States was funded by the federal government through the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) to partner with local school districts and community agencies to address the shortage of teachers of color in the special education profession. This chapter will detail how the authors co-constructed a project through which historically minoritized educators, who have often been systematically excluded from the teaching profession, are fully funded and mentored as they complete a master's degree and educator certification in special education.
