We're in the business of Educators.We believe in systems that promote equitable outcomes and excellence in education.
Educators of color need a shared, elevated voice and a stronger presence to help craft these types of strong accountability systems that we know ultimately lead to improved outcomes for students of diverse backgrounds. To make this happen, we engage and convene educators of color with opportunities to fellowship, develop layers of mentorship, and explore leadership opportunities. |
Our focus areas:
LeadershipWe are committed to ensuring educators of color are exposed to leadership opportunities locally and across the state and nation. |
MentorshipWe believe that pre-service and in-service educators of color in Tennessee can benefit from exposure and mentorship from other educators of color. We are committed to bridging this gap. |
