School districts have long sought teachers of color, who make up just 20 percent of the profession and provide valuable academic and social-emotional benefits to all students.
We laid out some ways to do it here: https://t.co/p5bzkCkAne

@time features @teachplus @CenterBlackEd paper, #ToBeWhoWeAre & Fellow @tk_nagayoshi: "Takeru Nagayoshi...says it’s not surprising that teachers of color are feeling especially strained these days. They have long faced an 'invisible tax'" https://t.co/r3RTIIL794

[Teach Plus @teachplus]

For all the attention paid to teacher stress and shortages during the pandemic—perceived and real—too few people are talking about the special strains on teachers of color, says @selmekki. #ToBeWhoWeAre

[EdTrust @EdTrust]

Recruiting teachers of color only gets them in the building. School leaders must pay equal, if not more, attention to the retention of teachers of color to make long-lasting change in the diversity of the workforce. https://t.co/2yg4VLqi7n #DisruptTurnover #TeacherDiversity

The @teachplus #PhoenixProject is based on the input of 175 educators who used the design thinking process to shape solutions to improve teaching and learning. Teach Plus and the teacher leaders developed recommendations for policymakers. https://t.co/UFiQgpDBAb

[GPSN @GPSN_LA]

New findings released by @teachplus and @CenterBlackEd explain the current teacher diversity gap and offer key insights on how to build welcoming school environments for Black educators reports @The74’s @small_asher

[Allan Golston @AllanGolston]

15% of all students are Black compared to just 7% of teachers.

There’s more work to be done to support teachers of color and ensure that our teachers reflect the students they serve.

[Jean-Claude Brizard @BrizardJC]

This @The74 story dives into fascinating report on recruiting a diverse staff and building a strong culture, according to over 100 Black educators surveyed. Only seven percent of educators in the U.S. are Black, compared to 15% of students: https://t.co/JniiLNiqzi #EdEquity

[Teach Plus @teachplus]

We have the resources, the recommendations, but we need to get these foundational concepts embedded to take away the fear from leaders/teachers and work with them to create a welcoming culture," @masonmessages says. #ToBeWhoWeAre @selmekki @CenterBlackEd
