  <Title>Attn Rising Seniors: New Fellowship for Aspiring Teachers!</Title>

    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">* Nearly half of the nation’s students (44 percent) are students of color, but the latest data show that just one of every six teachers (16.7 percent) is a teacher of color.
    * Current trends indicate that, by 2020, the percentage of teachers of color will fall to an all-time low of 5 percent of the total teacher force, while the percentage of students of color in the system will likely exceed 50 percent.
    * In urban and rural schools nationwide, as many of half of all African-American, Latino, and Native American students do not graduate high school in four years.
    * As many as a third of students in the nation’s high-need schools have at least one or more teachers without even a minor in the subject she or he teaches.
    * Study after study shows that the single most effective way a school can improve students’ academic achievement is to consistently provide well-prepared, committed teachers.
    * Research also shows, overwhelmingly, that students of color perform better – academically, personally, and socially-when taught by teachers from their own ethnic groups.

    <div class="html-content">Full Title: Attention Rising Seniors!  New Fellowship For Aspiring Teachers of Color
    
    *  Nearly half of the nation’s students (44 percent) are students of color, but the latest data show that just one of every six teachers (16.7 percent) is a teacher of color.
        * Current trends indicate that, by 2020, the percentage of teachers of color will fall to an all-time low of 5 percent of the total teacher force, while the percentage of students of color in the system will likely exceed 50 percent.
        * In urban and rural schools nationwide, as many of half of all African-American, Latino, and Native American students do not graduate high school in four years.
        * As many as a third of students in the nation’s high-need schools have at least one or more teachers without even a minor in the subject she or he teaches.
        * Study after study shows that the single most effective way a school can improve students’ academic achievement is to consistently provide well-prepared, committed teachers.
        * Research also shows, overwhelmingly, that students of color perform better – academically, personally, and socially-when taught by teachers from their own ethnic groups.</div>
