It’s no secret that there is a shortage of K-12 teachers overall. However, the lack of Black educators in the pipeline has lasted even longer and is especially concerning. When children have role models who look like them, who come from their culture and share their experiences, they tend to make a stronger connection with the teacher and the value of their education.

The conversation about equity is spreading in classrooms all across the United States.

But converting this conversation into action in order to close the existing gaps is not always a straightforward process. In fact, many schools don’t know where to begin.
