Role of #edprep in retention of Ts of color:
➡️Black female ToC are more likely to leave teaching due to inadequate #edprep
➡️ToC are 2x more likely to enter alt pathways due to lower financial burden
➡️Access, practice & quality instruction are key to strong prep & retention

This past Teacher Appreciation Week, Teach Plus teacher leaders traveled to Washington, D.C. to partner with policymakers and share real-world classroom context.
Listen as they reflect on why the work they're doing in policy is important.

#TeacherDiversity benefits all students, regardless of race or ethnicity. Yet while the majority of students in the nation are students of color, only about 20% of teachers are teachers of color. Learn more about #EducatorDiversity in your state today: edtru.st/EducatorDiversity

As the @WashingtonPost shares, apprenticeships are a promising innovation to tackle teacher shortages. And we couldn't agree more.
To attract diverse, highly-qualified professionals to the classroom we must remove the financial & credentialing barriers that stand in the way.👏🏽
Facing dire teacher shortages, several states have started programs that cover tuition for aspiring teachers and employ them as teacher aides, allowing them to get paid while they take coursework in exchange for years of service in the classroom. wapo.st/3O76c95

Research shows ALL students benefit from having a Black teacher. Yet, nationwide, there isn’t enough diversity in the classroom. Teachers like DeQuaz Humphries, a math teacher in New Orleans, recognize this and it's one of the many reasons why he knows he belongs in education.

An important perspective to keep in mind from @selmekki and why the Center’s Professional Development team created toolkits and trainings for Black teacher retention: thecenterblacked.org/resourc…
