As we kick off #BMEC2022, we acknowledge this day 55 years ago, on November 17, 1967, thousands of Black students walked out of class in Philadelphia protesting racial injustice within the education system.
“We don’t need Black male teachers for troubled students.
Black male teachers are needed to help troubled school systems.”
A profound moment from Dr. Ivory Toldson during #BMEC2023's first #BlackTeacherPipeline panel conversation.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended the #BlackMenInEd Convening this past weekend in Philadelphia. #BMEC2023 takes a tremendous number of people to put together including our incredible staff and partners. Thank you to all, especially to our @CenterBlackEd staff!
Grateful for the team that helped us launch @CenterBlackEd focusing on 4 important pillars: Black Teacher Pipeline/teacher pre-apprenticeships, Black Pedagogy, Professional Learning Opportunities, & Policies to support teacher diversity. Check us out TheCenterBlackED.org
