Millennial Teachers of Color explores the opportunities and
challenges for creating and sustaining a healthy teaching force in
the United States. Millennials are the largest generational cohort
in American history, with approximately ninety million members and,
of these, roughly 43 percent are people of color. This book, edited
by prominent teacher educator Mary E. Dilworth, considers the
unique qualities, challenges, and opportunities posed by that large
population for the teaching field. Noting that a diverse teaching
and learning community enhances student achievement, particularly
for the underserved and underachieving preK-12 student population,
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of color are out-of-date and inadequate.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 book is intended to disrupt
the current line of inquiry that suggests that by simply increasing
the number of teachers of color equity has been established.
Readers will gain insights on this unique and valuable group of
prospective and practicing preK-12 educators and understanding of
the need for more contemporary approaches to recruitment,
preparation, hiring, and placement.
