Abstract: A severe shortage of African American teachers in K-12 public education has been accelerated by their increased teacher departures from the profession. In attempts to reverse this trend, the authors of this study present insight from their investigation that encourages administrators to implement mentoring, reflection, and reciprocal journaling to retain African American teachers by enhancing their professional competence in schools throughout America. Insight of national significance includes enhancements gained from mentoring and reciprocal journaling include, but are not limited to, teacher retention, teacher developed lesson plans, effective classroom discipline, and more meaningful teacher-student relationships.
