@teachplus is proud to be a part of such an essential effort with leaders in the field. Educator diversity is a critical component of educational excellence. #1mtoc @Hunt_Institute, @tntp, @CenterBlackEd, @Latinos4Ed, @NewLeadersOrg, @MCELLeaders & @EdTrust.

This #HispanicHeritageMonth, we celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of Hispanic and Latinx Teach Plus teacher leaders and those who helped foster the success of today’s Hispanic and Latinx educators and students. Read @dochjamil's op-ed: education-first.com/lets-not-go-ba…

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: teachplus.org/disruptteacher… edweek.org/teaching-learn…

What an amazing time working with the ⁦@LubbockISD⁩ educators part of the Equity Leadership Institute, as the ⁦@teachplus⁩ facilitator. How lucky am I to not only facilitate the discussion but learn from them! #equitymatters

.@TeachPlus Senior Research Fellow and @laschools teacher @megpseril urges @LAUSDSup to listen to her students, teachers & other educational partners. "As a teacher, I am here to show up, step up, and speak up for the needs of my colleagues and students." link.medium.com/D2qLLaIw2ob

@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'" time.com/6130991/black-…

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 teachplus.org/TeachPlus-CBED… hechingerreport.org/why-we-could-s…

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. edtru.st/DisruptTurnover #DisruptTurnover #TeacherDiversity

Q&A: You won’t retain Black teachers without transforming your school culture. Via @laurawaters buff.ly/3lqZLym

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. teachplus.org/PhoenixProject

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 laschoolreport.com/new-report-how…

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. the74million.org/article/new-re…

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: bit.ly/2XSR9Z2 #EdEquity

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 educationpost.org/qa-with-sharif…
