In 2012 there were approximately 80 million millennials and about 70 million baby boomers (Schawbel, 2012). Schawbel estimates that by 2025 three of four workers will be of the millennial generation. By 2041, which is during the lifetime of most millennials, America's population is projected to become majority Brown and Black (Kundu, 2014). Already in 2019, teachers of color are underrepresented in K-12 classrooms and are leaving those classrooms to pursue more lucrative and less stressful work experiences. Why is it important to have millennial teachers of color in K-12 classrooms? Egalite, Kisida, and Winters (2015) found that when students and teachers are of the same race, student achievement, as measured by test scores, improves, particularly at the elementary level. It is critical that classrooms have effective teachers that reflect the spectrum of diversity that exists in the world. Several factors have an impact on the recruitment and retention of millennial teachers of color: hiring and placement practices; school working conditions, and state legislative actions. This report shares several things can be done to increase the retention of millennial teachers of color in schools.
