Let's Talk Teacher and School Leader Shortages with the 1 Million Teachers of Color Campaign

The US has been talking about post-pandemic educator shortages for two years with no widely-recognized solution or innovation in addressing them, in either the short or long term. This is the moment for states and districts to solve for the current crisis while also building for the future. In this discussion, members of the One Million Teachers of Color (1MTOC) Campaign come together for a panel discussion focused on teacher and school leader shortages, and what policymakers and practitioners must focus on in order to fortify the educator pipeline now and in the future: quantity, quality, and diversity. Panelists for this panel include: • Sharif El-Mekki, Founder & CEO, Center for Black Educator Development • Lynn Jennings, Senior Director of National and State Partnerships, The Education Trust • Kim Oliver, Vice President of Policy, Advocacy, and Community Coalitions, TNTP • Harrison Peters, Co-Founder & CEO, Men of Color in Educational Leadership Steering Committee members of the One Million Teachers of Color Campaign include: TNTP, ‪@CenterBlackEd‬, ‪@TheEducationTrust‬, Men of Color in Educational Leadership, ‪@TheHuntInstitute‬, ‪@latinosforeducation4148‬, New Leaders, and Teach Plus.
