TENNESSEE EDUCATORS OF COLOR ALLIANCE

We 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... Educators of color need spaces to convene socially, academically, and professionally. We are committed to ensuring that educators of color in Tennessee stay connected... 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.
