Founder of TN Educators of Color Alliance to Speak Oct. 22

15

Dr. Diarese George, ​a former classroom teacher in the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System, founded the Tennessee Educators of Color Alliance (TECA) in Fall 2016. He and other founding board members saw a lack of people of color involved in education policy at all levels, as well as a lack of convening space and resources in Tennessee for the recruitment and retention of educators of color.

Dr. George will participate in a panel forum for students on how to support the diversity of K-12 students across the state on Oct. 22 at 4 p.m. in the STEM Center Auditorium.

Then he will speak on diversity and mentorship in education at 6 p.m. in the STEM Center Auditorium.

On Oct. 23, Dr. George will be a part of a panel forum for faculty on support for and retention of educators of color. This will be held at 11 a.m. in Bartoo Hall 111.
