Revolutionizing Education: Elevating Teachers of Color - Rodney Robinson | Season 1 Episode 5

As you live, believe in Life! Always human beings will live and progress to greater, broader and fuller life. The only possible death is to lose belief in this truth simply because the great end comes slowly, because time is long

- W. E. B. Du Bois

Rodney Robinson is the Senior Advisor, Richmond Public Schools Male teacher of Color Initiative at the Virgie Binford Education Center in Richmond, Virginia, the 2019 National Teacher of the Year, #8 Root Magazine Top Influential African Americans in 2019, and the HBCU Alumnus of the Year.

In this episode, Rodney explains why school leaders need to be intentional to not only recruit Teachers of Color, but the important to support and retain them.

On July 10th, Rodney gave his keynote at the National Network of State Teachers of the Year’s Teacher Leadership Conference that was supposed to be titled, “Learner-Centered Instructional Practices.” However, Rodney felt compelled to shift gears and talk about the importance of promoting and retaining Teachers of Color.

This the fifth and final episode of a five-part series. You will hear from the speakers themselves who will help us dive deeper into their message.

Throughout this series, I have been joined by the 2018 Virginia State Teacher of the Year, Michelle Cottrell-Williams.

Michelle is going to help me unpack the takeaways of these educational leaders who’s message will take us beyond the curriculum.
