TLM NEWS

Our Mission
To recruit, develop, and retain quality Black educators in public education.
ABOUT TLM
Our VISION
To increase the number of Black teachers by removing barriers to entry and providing the support educators need to respond effectively to the academic and social-emotional needs of all students, especially students of color.
ABOUT TLM
Why the organization exists
The organization’s materials highlight a national representation gap — particularly the small share of Black men in the public-school teaching workforce— and the local consequences of teacher shortages and turnover.
ABOUT TLM
it is not enough to recruit a teacher if certification costs, relocation, housing, professional isolation, or a lack of instructional support pushes that teacher out of the profession.
TLM addresses both entry & persistence
