The authors of this book provide caring advice to Black, Indigenous, and Teachers of Color (BITOC) to help sustain them into and through the teaching profession. Through an examination of BITOC in the education workforce, the assets that these educators bring to the teaching profession are identified, as are some of the most critical challenges they face in today's schools. The book illuminates the importance of cultivating and supporting social cultural identities as resources that will serve prospective teachers and their increasingly diverse students. Rooted in an identity sustaining framework, the authors strongly encourage BITOC to bring their full cultural, social, and linguistic assets into the classroom while simultaneously encouraging their students to do the same. Creating a Home in Schools will help readers successfully negotiate and navigate the teaching profession, from pathway programs, to teacher education, and into the classroom.

“As we read Creating A Home In Schools: Sustaining Identities for Black, Indigenous and Teachers of Color, we found it to be a powerful catalyst for conversation reflecting on the need for this resource as we journeyed through our time as classroom teachers. … In many ways, we wished we had the discussions nurtured in this book at the beginning of our own teacher-preparation journey.”—Teachers College Record
