A growing base of research shows that racially diverse school leaders and teachers can positively impact all students, particularly students of color, across a wide range of key academic and social outcomes. Yet the gap between teachers of color to students of color remains vast. To meaningfully narrow the gap between students of color and the educators who lead their classrooms and school buildings, there must be more recruitment efforts to spark interest in teaching in young people. Join the One Million Teachers of Color Campaign for a webinar focused on early recruitment strategies for cultivating a diverse educator workforce. Backed by research from our partners at Teach Plus and the Center for Black Educator Development (CBED)’s “Seeing Myself” report, our panel of experts will share nuanced perspectives and best practices around recruiting students of color and indigenous students into teaching careers. Gain valuable insights and actionable strategies for building a more inclusive and equitable educator workforce. Register here to join the conversation:?https://ow.ly/Lz6Z50RxsyU

As we begin Black History Month, it is important for me to discuss how some states across the country have banned this topic from being taught in schools, which is not only detrimental to students of color, but all students. When it comes to history, past becomes prologue, so it is important that all students have the ability to learn about the rich contributions of Black Americans and the many obstacles we have overcome as a historically marginalized group. In no way is teaching Black history about guilting anyone, but instead it is focused on ensuring today’s youth know the shortcomings of this country’s past so they can avoid repeating them when they become our leaders of tomorrow. “While representation matters for Black students, it is also good for non-Black students. We can reduce stereotypes, eliminate prejudice and get rid of bias if kids who are not Black begin to hear affirming, positive stories about Black people, Black history and Black culture. So much misinformation exists, and that misinformation can lead to stereotyping, prejudice, racism or acts of discrimination.” – Tyrone Howard, UCLA Pritzker Family Professor of Education Ultimately, we must no longer segregate Black history to only one month a year when we acknowledge and celebrate it because Black history is American history. I encourage everyone to view the resources available from the Center for Racial Justice in Education in the link below and to share them with others in celebration of Black History Month. https://lnkd.in/eeAW53k9

Our schools depend on diverse, passionate educators, but many teachers—particularly educators of color—face systemic barriers that push them out of the profession. To create an equitable and thriving education system, we must prioritize the recruitment and retention of these educators by addressing these challenges head-on.

Nearly 70 years ago, the landmark decision of Brown v. Board of Education set a new course for education in America, declaring state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional. This was not just a victory for those brave students and families who fought for their rights, but a beacon of hope for generations to come. Yet, the journey toward realizing the full promise of Brown v. Board continues. Across the nation, disparities in resources, opportunities, and inclusive environments in schools remind us that the fight for educational equity is ongoing. As we commemorate the 70th anniversary of this pivotal moment, we are called upon to renew our commitment to advocacy, action, and dialogue. It's a call to ensure that the principles of equity, inclusion, and diversity are not just ideals, but realities in every classroom. ?? Join us in honoring the legacy of Brown v. Board by actively contributing to the progress that still needs to be made. ?? Education is the foundation of opportunity, and every child deserves a school that opens doors, not closes them. Let's work together to create an educational system that reflects the richness and potential of every student. ??
