Where Have All The Teachers of Color Gone? (With Answers)

You should know that, at last week’s panel for the conference I attended, I went to a panel entitled “Where Have All The Teachers of Color Gone?” and never got our main question answered. Instead of coming for the moderator for not “doing the education,” I’ll ask you to consider a few things:
  • I’ve done some of the research for New York City, and similar patterns arise across the country.
  • Before we can even answer the “teachers of color” question, we have to differentiate what types of leaving we have.
  • Before that, we have to consider the mindset of the folks asking questions about it, and whether they’ve read any of the tangible research.
