Teachers of color serve as role models for students, giving them a clear and concrete sense of what diversity in education-and in our society-looks like. -Teacher Diversity Matters Center for American Progress

Perspectives on Partnering with MPDE

"My experience has taught me, as an African American male in a predominately white school district, that one person can change minds, hearts and the spirit, bring about diversity within a school, and impact a community."
John Reed, history teacher and administrator, Barnstable

MPDE "...had their pulse on the needs of districts, and they were able to point me in a meaningful direction-to a job I was well-suited for."
Gloria Lee, Asst. Principal, Prospect Hill Academy, Somerville

"It has been valuable for us to partner with the MPDE because it is an organization that shares the same mission of diversity, while connecting our graduates with amazing opportunities to participate in the education of our younger generations."
Kristine Shatas, Asst. Director, Career Services, Stonehlll College
