The Arizona Board of Regents reports that merely 2% of the state's teachers identify as Indigenous, prompting the University of Arizona to seek ways to elevate this figure.
The Indigenous Teacher Education Program at the University of Arizona, a two-year initiative, aims to address this deficit and simultaneously bolster its Indigenous student body on campus.
