With support from the William Penn Foundation, RFA sought to further examine and understand Black teacher attrition and retention in Philadelphia, and promising strategies and initiatives that can promote the retention of Black teachers in the city and elsewhere. In totality, the project includes qualitative research that centers the perspectives of a small sample of current and former teachers in the Philadelphia area who identify as Black--which is the focus of this report--and a national scan of select teacher diversification initiatives and the particular strategies they employ. The present report shares the storied experiences and actionable recommendations of a sample of 30 current and former Black teachers, organized by salient themes, providing clear and direct insight into factors that contribute to Black teacher attrition as well as ways to retain current teachers. This report describes the study's methodology, presents findings regarding the unique challenges faced by Black teachers, discusses what sustains and retains Black teachers in the profession, and shares their recommendations for increasing Black teacher retention. It concludes with reflections on the implications of these findings and opportunities for future research to further inform policies and practices that best support Black teachers.
