The Tukwila Educators of Color Group seeks to create a space for TEOC that builds community and works to recruit, retain, and sustain our educators of color. We will be meeting about once a month to create this community of supporters and to find ways of advocating for ourselves and students.
We encourage any Tukwila educators who identify as an educator of color to join our group. The TEOC page will be updated with TEOC stories and meeting dates/times.
Next Social Event: TBD
Applications Due March 4, 2019

On December 5, we had our inaugural TEOC meetup. With our goals of creating community and support in mind, we began with telling our stories, talking about some data, and brainstorming the priorities for our group. Below, you will see some examples of the type of data and experiences we discussed.
