A diverse educator workforce is vital to providing students with role models who reflect their experiences, backgrounds, and aspirations.

Join us for an edWeb podcast with Dr. Adam Clark, Superintendent, Mt. Diablo USD; Dr. Antoine Hawkins, Superintendent, Evergreen Elementary School District; and Dr. Kai Mathews, Founder and Lead Designer, The Libertory Classroom. They draw on insights and information presented at the CAAASA Annual Roundup held in September 2025 and share district strategies to grow and sustain a teacher workforce that mirrors their diverse student populations.

The panelists discuss effective approaches such as “grow your own” initiatives, partnerships with universities and preparation programs, and innovative recruiting strategies to attract diverse candidates. They also explore how districts can create supportive environments and professional pathways that help teachers stay, thrive, and advance in the profession.

Join this conversation to learn actionable strategies and leadership insights that foster equity, inclusion, and excellence across the educator pipeline.

This edWeb podcast is of interest to all K-12 educators, administrators, and policymakers.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
