Abstract
The NorCal GREAT teachers pipeline is a grant-funded program designed to build and sustain a diverse teacher workforce in far northern California. In order to do so, the program aims to support future, in-training, and current teachers who reflect the students they teach in a wide variety of ways and identities. The program supports these participants through professional development events and affinity groups to build social-emotional awareness, healing centered engagement, and culturally sustaining pedagogy while simultaneously addressing academic advising and technology needs. Specific to those needs, the program provided both in-person and online (i.e., Zoom) options to access these identity-rich experiences. The study includes multiple surveys on identity, experiences, and perception to determine whether the involvement of the “Roomers” differs from that of “Zoomers.”
