Produktbeschreibung
Millennial Teachers of Color explores the opportunities and challenges for creating and sustaining a healthy teaching force in the United States. Noting that a diverse teaching and learning community enhances student achievement, particularly for the underserved and underachieving preK-12 student population, Mary E. Dilworth argues that efforts to recruit, groom, and retain teachers of color are out-of-date and inadequate. She and the contributors offer fresh looks at these millennials and explore their views of the teaching profession; focus attention on their relation to schools and teaching; and consider how these young teachers feel about teaching for social justice. "The mismatch of the current cohort of students we serve to the teachers we recruit and retain is really unforgivable. We need a system of strategic actions that addresses this demographic gap once and for all. This book beautifully covers the reasons why and the results we need to achieve racially and ethnically infused teaching and learning. More importantly, it outlines an impressive framework for getting the job done." > "Dilworth shines needed light on the work, divergent experiences, nuanced views, and complexities of millennial teachers of color. The perspectives of these educators are indispensable in understanding the near future of US public education." >Contributors Keffrelyn D. Brown Keith C. Catone Genesis Chavez Marcus J.
