Today, GPSN, in partnership with Diversity in Leadership Institute is releasing a groundbreaking study on Gen Z Black and Latino educators in LA Schools. Read about how these new findings should impact teacher recruitment and retention here: https://lnkd.in/gDsRYeiU

According to the study, 1 in 3 Gen Z (under 30 years old) Black and Latino educators anticipate leaving the profession, with 71% of those expecting to leave within 1-2 years. This echoes an IAU report that the district is projected to lose 100 Black educators per year, while fewer Black educators are entering the profession at LAUSD. :-( This research is so important to discuss, especially as we are thinking about the future of education. Thank you Diversity in Leadership Institute for this work!
