The 11 soon-to-be educators will be supported by the Dallas ISD Human Capital Management department on their path toward becoming licensed teachers through the district's Alternative Certification program. Because 70 percent of district students are of Hispanic origin, the district felt it was essential to "increase the number of Hispanic educators to improve the Latino representation ... and help shape students' lives."
