Change(d) Agent nicholl The book was a bit repetitive but the ideas in it are important. As a woman of color who worked in a public school, I could definitely relate to the research. I recommend this for administrators in urban schools to think about how they can support their teachers of color.
Drawing from a 5-year study of the lives of 21 new teachers of color working in urban, hard-to-staff schools, this book documents the tensions these teachers experience between serving as role models and fulfilling district and state mandates.. This book examines both the promises and complexities of racially and culturally diversifying today's teaching profession
