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

If you’re a school or district leader struggling with the challenge of chronic absenteeism, as so many are across the U.S., you may not realize that structured recess is a research-backed approach to keep kids in school. In fact, a UC Berkeley study of Title I schools found that those partnering with Playworks had significantly lower chronic absenteeism rates. Further, Mathematica research demonstrated that Playworks schools spent 27% less time transitioning from recess back to learning, saving teachers valuable instructional time.
These results are possible for your students, too. Learn how Playworks can help you improve student-educator relationships, belonging, and attendance by signing up for a quick no-obligation conversation.
