Excited to hear from Jean Desravines, @selmekki, and @HarrisonPeters for a #RaceAndEducation webinar that will discuss rebuilding the black teacher pipeline! Register here to attend: https://ow.ly/eNCx50QwTcQ
The influence of Black teachers on Black students’ academic trajectory is profound and backed by compelling research. A Johns Hopkins University study reported that Black students are 13% more likely to go to college if they had at least one Black teacher by third grade. When a Black student has at least two Black teachers in elementary school, the likelihood that they will enroll in college increases to 32%. The presence of Black teachers not only provides a sense of belonging and identity affirmation, but also offers diverse perspectives and approaches to learning that benefit all students. Recognizing and dismantling systemic obstacles, such as limited access to educational opportunities, biases in hiring practices, and inadequate support systems, becomes imperative when addressing how to create a diverse teacher workforce.
Join The Hunt Institute and CEOs from the One Million Teachers of Color steering organizations on Tuesday, February 20th for a conversation addressing the impact Black teachers have on students, the barriers they face, and best practices to recruit and retain them.
