Back in October 2023 we introduced this series on the podcast centered around the importance of teacher diversity. We’ve all heard repeatedly, especially over the last few years, how important representation is, particularly for kids throughout all stages of their development. Throughout this series we listened to our guests lay out the importance of having educators of color in our schools. All kids deserve to feel safe and confident in school. They should feel like school is a community they belong to and deserve to feel they are seen both as individuals and for their potential. In September 2023 as an introduction to this series, Aria Strategies posted a blog post looking at why teacher diversity should matter to us all. You can read more here.
In the meantime, one of the main focuses of our guests to help increase teacher diversity in the long run, is to start focusing now on kids of color who express an interest in being educators. This is coming to fruition in the form of middle school clubs for kids of color interested in being educators.
