Mass. Partnership for Diversity in Education hosts Diversity Career Fair on April 30

Brings together 40 school districts for a robust hiring event to recruit diverse applicants for a range of positions in various disciplines and grade levels

  The Massachusetts Partnership for Diversity in Education (MPDE) is partnering with diversity recruitment expert DIVERSITY in Ed to bring together 40 school districts with openings for teachers and administrative staff for a hybrid in-person and virtual Diversity Career Fair on April 30 from 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m., EST.

  In recognition of the increasing evidence that recruiting and retaining teachers from diverse backgrounds adds value to schools, students and communities, MPDE has continued to provide leadership in the state on efforts to diversify the teaching force. Says an MPDE spokesperson, “MPDE has a commitment to excellence in education for all students, a commitment to support increased diversity among its districts’ staff, and a desire to provide resources and support toward the increase of teachers of color in its member school districts.”

  Attendees at the April 30 event can expect a “one stop shop” for educators of color seeking teaching, administrative or paraprofessional/support staff positions. Current students in teacher preparation programs anticipating graduation are also welcomed to attend. All attendees will have access to representatives from 40 school districts, and in-person attendees will meet special contributor Rosanne Katz from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), Office of Educator Licensure.

  Interested candidates can register for the April 30 event at https://mpde.org or contact Regina Caines with questions at reginaac@comcast.net.
