Cultivating Talent: Insights from the 2022 National Study Examining Pathways to Increase the Presence of Hispanic Teachers and Leaders in Catholic Schools

Abstract

This article draws extensively on data from Cultivating Talent: A National Study Examining Pathways to Increase the Presence of Hispanic Teachers and Leaders in Catholic Schools, conducted by Boston College researchers and released in January 2022. The report looks to understand and appreciate the various ways in which Hispanics educators are transforming the American Catholic school experience. Our findings clearly show that Catholic schools in the United States are and will be further enriched by the presence and contributions of Hispanic teachers and leaders. The report encourages stakeholders of Catholic education and pastoral leaders at all levels, across the nation, to make a renewed commitment to investing and cultivating talent within the Hispanic community.
