Why does a Black male
teacher matter?
With more Black men in classrooms, students perform better. Black male teachers are direct role models and mentors for all students. This alone helps communities improve access to wealth today and in future generations.
Black males inside the classroom bring financial stability to communities. A Black male teacher in a student’s life expands their understanding of job opportunities.
