The Teachers’ Lounge

Entrepreneur: Devin Morris

Founded: 2018

The Teachers’ Lounge seeks to drive unprecedented student outcomes by greatly diversifying the people, thoughts, and actions of the educational workforce in the greater Boston area by building a connected experience for educators of color. They are focused on three primary efforts: (1) convening, supporting and developing a growing network of educators of color; (2) addressing the silos among the various teacher recruitment and development program in Boston so the journey of an educator of color from recruitment, to preparation, to hiring, to induction, to teaching, to leadership development is more intentional and seamless; and (3) developing a Diversity in Education Fellowship where teachers of color can gain the skills and experience to advance in their professional careers.
