A substantive topic of interest to me is the importance of a diverse teaching workforce as there are disparities between the racial composition of American children and the racial composition of the American teaching force. The three core designs were convergent, explanatory sequential, and exploratory sequential. 1. Describe how the topic "the importance of a diverse teaching workforce as there are disparities between the racial composition of American children and the racial composition of the American teaching force" could be studied using the convergent core design. What are some potential affordances and constraints of each of the designs? 2. Next, describe how the topic "the importance of a diverse teaching workforce as there are disparities between the racial composition of American children and the racial composition of the American teaching force" could be studied using the explanatory sequential core design. What are some potential affordances and constraints of each of the designs? 3. Lastly, describe how the topic "the importance of a diverse teaching workforce as there are disparities between the racial composition of American children and the racial composition of the American teaching force" could be studied using exploratory sequential design. What are some potential affordances and constraints of each of the designs
