​Find out why we’re committed to amplifying the voices and expanding the options for leadership for educators of color in Tennessee.

What We Believe

We believe that in order to ensure strong accountability systems that promote equitable outcomes and excellence in education, more educators of color need a shared, elevated voice and stronger presence.  Accomplishing this requires engaging and convening educators of color with opportunities to fellowship, developing layers of mentorship between preservice educators of color and inservice educators of color, and exposing educators of color to various leadership opportunities.
