In this episode, Dr. Constance A. Lindsay joined the show to discuss the effect a Black Teacher Pipeline will have on Black student achievement. Dr. Lindsay and host Shayna Terrell discussed how Black teachers can help close the achievement gap for Black students, and what supports are needed to recruit and retain more Black teachers.

Her work has been published in such journals as Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis and Social Science Research.
