MMEA Session: Where'd We Go? Ensuring The Retention of Pre-Service Teachers of Color Rachel Profiling

Hi y'all!! So excited to be back to share with you my first ever Massachusetts Music Educators Association All-State Conference Presentation! This presentation discusses the importance of racial diversity in music educators as currently the teaching body in Massachusetts is 93.2% white (DESE, 2023). I share personal anecdotes of my own lived experience as a teacher and person of color, discuss structural/systemic racism, and look at actionable steps we can do right now to support our BIPOC teachers.
