Amidst all the conversations about recruiting Black educators, where are the discussions about retention? The Exit Interview podcast was created to elevate the stories of Black educators who have been pushed out of the classroom, main or central office. The podcast asks guests to share their education journey, the "last straw" that made them decide to leave education, and, most importantly, what they are doing now that they have left the traditional education sphere.
The Exit Interview hopes to inform school district administrators, teachers' unions, families, educators and others interested in better understanding the challenges of retaining Black people in education.
Here are some great episodes to start with.
