Why Black Male Educators?
As of 2023, Black males make up less than 1.3% of all educators, this is in comparison to the 7% of all Black educators nationwide.
How We Plan to Address it
We aim to support Black male educators who are currently teaching, or may be interested in beginning an educational teaching program.
As a program, the BEI seeks to reach out and support Black male educators to increase recruitment and retention as well as create interest to other Black male future educators. ACE aims to recruit Black male instructors as mentors for participants to become self-aware and cultivate their self-identity as a leader.
