(WordInBlack.com) – The 2021 school year saw many students returning to classrooms with even fewer teachers of color, which was intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic. What will it take to get more Black and Latino teachers back into the classroom and retain them? Join us as we discuss ways in which leaders in education are tackling the challenge of making sure that teacher representation reflects the communities they serve in.
The keynote discussion with David C. Banks, President and CEO of the Eagle Academy Foundation, will be moderated by Elinor Tatum, Publisher of the New York Amsterdam News. And there will be a Word In Black Reporters Roundtable, recapping the 2021 Year In Education and a look forward to 2022.
