Abstrakt: The article examines the Pathways to Teaching Careers Program as will help in the retention of teachers of color. It mentions that the minority teachers are underrepresented in the workforce for reasons like inadequate academic preparation, attraction to other careers, unsupportive working conditions, lack of cultural and social support groups, increased standards and competency testing, low salaries as well as high attrition rates. It discusses that the Pathways programs will somehow answer the problems of the teachers. This effort is said to be launched in order to bring teachers of color into the teaching profession.
