As a member of the Albemarle County School Board, I think we desperately
need the African American Teaching Fellows to help us realize our goals
of having a diverse cadre of highly qualified teachers in our classrooms.
A workforce that reflects the diversity in our community will pay dividends
for student achievement and cultural awareness.
—Brian Wheeler,
Former Chair, Albemarle County School Board
Our mission is to recruit, support, develop, and retain a cadre of African American teachers to serve the schools of Charlottesville and Albemarle County.
