Hispanic Teachers and Leaders in Catholic Schools
Introduction
In this Special Issue, authors focus on recruiting, supporting, and retaining Hispanic educators in Catholic schools. A set of manuscripts was initially proposed by the guest editors and an open call for additional manuscripts was distributed and posted online. Submitted manuscripts (research articles and Education-in-Practice contributions) went through blind peer-review, and book reviews were subjected to editorial board review. We continue to welcome additional research focused on the topic of Hispanic educators for future regular issues of the Journal of Catholic Education.Articles
