Re-Building the Black Teacher Pipeline: Attracting, Retaining, and Sustaining a More Inclusive Teacher Workforce for Today and Tomorrow
TIME: 12:30 PM – 1:30PM PT/3:30 MP – 4:30 PM ET
|
A teacher corps that reflects its students helps close achievement and opportunity gaps – yet systemic barriers persist that keep teachers of color out of the classroom. Launched in 2019, the Center for Black Educator Development is revolutionizing education by dramatically increasing the number of Black educators in our schools. In this keynote address, CBED’s CEO and Founder Sharif El Mekki will outline what it will take to put Black educators in every school throughout the country, what teaching practices can unleash the power of diverse cultural insights, and what policies can liberate us from constraints, real and imagined, so that we might move forward in creating a more equitable and just education system for all of our learners, especially our Black students and other students of color.
