Research tells us that teachers of color are woefully underrepresented in Pennsylvania schools. Yet research also tells us that all students benefit from meaningful representation and diversity in the teaching ranks.

RFA is hosting a Teach-In to create and support a structure for participants to become informed and inspired about this important topic and to provide tools to contribute to efforts addressing issues of access and equity in education for teachers of color.
