Support and Retain Educators of Color with Andrea Terrero Gabbadon
Dr. Andrea Terrero Gabbadon is an author, scholar, and the founder/lead principal consultant of ILM Consulting Group. Her work touches on culturally responsive and sustaining education, school racial climate, and educator diversity.
In this episode we discuss her new book, Support and Retain Educators of Color: 6 Principles for Culturally Affirming Leadership (ASCD).
Our conversation covers:
- Why educators of color are underrepresented in schools, as compared to the student population (20% to 50%)
- Importance of clear and precise language
- Where recruitment/hiring diverges from support/retention
- How retention for educators of color relates to overall teacher retention
- 6 Principles for Culturally Affirming Leadership
- Closing the gap between intent and impact
- How to foster supportive environments
