Who We Are
We are the driving force behind advancing a diverse educator workforce. At the Pennsylvania Educator Diversity Consortium (PEDC), we’re not just envisioning a diverse education ecosystem; we are the unifying power bringing individuals and organizations together to create a diverse, culturally relevant, and sustaining educator workforce.
Together, we are stronger!
Our Mission
PEDC seeks to eliminate the demographic mismatch between educators and learners of color while ensuring that learners of every identity experience the benefits of a racially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse educator workforce. We convene and collaborate with invested partners to advance ​educator diversity and ​the development of culturally relevant and sustaining educators and systems in early childhood, K-12, postsecondary, and higher education by increasing knowledge and skills, creating resources, and advocating for equitable education policies.
Our Vision
The Pennsylvania Educator Diversity Consortium (PEDC) is a national leader in diversifying the educator workforce by influencing policy, practice, and resource development. We envision a future where each learner in Pennsylvania experiences racially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse and culturally relevant educators leading their classrooms and educational institutions.
