Teacherhood is an ethical mentoring, coaching, and consulting practice created to safeguard immigrant teachers against systemic vulnerabilities through clarity, preparation, and informed decision-making.

Founded in 2019 and incubated at the Harvard Kennedy School, Teacherhood is a veteran- and minority-woman-owned practice grounded in lived experience and rigorous research. This work emerged from years of academic study and firsthand observation of how well-intentioned educators are often left exposed by opaque systems and power imbalances.

While large placement agencies prioritize contracts, compliance, and volume, Teacherhood centers the educator. We help teachers navigating high-stakes transitions—before or after migration—interpret "hidden rules," recognize ethical red flags, and retain agency over their professional and personal decisions.

This Is Not a Placement Agency

Teacherhood does not recruit, place, or sponsor teachers. Instead, we offer human-scale support designed to help educators ask better questions and move forward with confidence and dignity.

Integrity over expediency anchors this work. We choose transparency and ethical responsibility over visibility or guarantees. We are here to ensure that your move toward a new classroom is defined by informed choice, not institutional convenience.
