This episode, we ask: What is pushing teachers of color out of the classroom? What patterns can we identify?
To answer these questions, we draw connections from interviews with 3 different teachers of color across the country who share why they chose to leave education and/or their school site as well as recent findings from the "Small, but Mighty" research project recently published by the education organization Research for Action.
Join us for the finale where we bring all of the throughlines of this season together and ask one final question: What can we do to preserve teachers of color and support all students?
