Chief Operating Officer

The Black Men Teach Mission is to recruit prepare place and retain Black male teachers in elementary schools.

The Black Men Teach Vision is a community in which all students have the opportunity to attend schools staffed with racially and culturally diverse teachers and leaders reflecting the students race ethnicity and cultures creating an environment that affirms students for who they are.

Minnesotas education system is a paradox. Minnesota is considered to have one of the best public education systems in the country but at the same time it is one of the most inequitable. The graduation rate for Black high school students in Minnesota ranks 50th among 50 states. Minnesota has the second largest Black-White education achievement gap in the nation and Black students are suspended or expelled at eight times the rate of their White counterparts.

Research and experience reveal that a diverse teacher corps improves student outcomes for all children especially children of color. For example Black boys in elementary school who have just one Black male teacher are 29% less likely to drop out of school. Those who have two Black male teachers are 32% more likely to enroll in post-secondary education. Black Men Teach focuses on closing the teacher gap and is seeking to do this by building a robust pipeline that recruits develops supports and helps retain Black men in elementary classrooms. Within six years the organization is committed to seeing 20% of the teacher pool in its partner schools as Black men.
