Research for Action (RFA) studied why Black teachers were leaving their jobs more than White teachers in Allegheny County from 2014 to 2020. RFA analyses found that the number of Black teachers in the area was consistently dropping, more than the decrease in the overall Black population. The data gathered from speaking directly with 38 current and former Black teachers about their perspectives and experiences through interviews and focus groups conducted in the spring of 2023 yielded three key takeaways: (1) Black teachers support Allegheny County students and schools in several unique and important ways; (2) Black teachers face many challenges that impact their experiences as educators in Allegheny County; and (3) Several factors retain and sustain Black teachers in Allegheny County. The report offers insights into the working conditions for Black teachers and provides recommendations for policymakers, school leaders, teacher diversity initiatives, and the wider community for how to improve efforts to recruit, hire, retain, and sustain Black teachers within the region and beyond.
