In November, Dr. Davis announced the launch of the Premier 100 Initiative, which seeks to strategically recruit and retain 100 minority male teachers in Richland 2 over the next three years. Nationally, African-American males comprise less than 2% of the teaching workforce, and our district is working to be a leader in diversifying our teaching workforce.
As part of that effort, the district will be hosting the inaugural Premier 100 Conference March 28th at the R2i2 Conference Center. This conference is open to both aspiring and current educators, and while the focus of the conference will be centered on supporting the work of male educators of color, the topics addressed will support the professional learning of all teachers.
