Mission Statement
Mission
Statement
Black Men Teach is a network explicitly promoting and amplifying the voices of Black Men in Education.
We aim to provide a safe hub for Black male educators whilst we raise the teaching profile amongst black males. In doing this we will be bringing to the forefront the varying issues and inequalities Black men face in education concerning their recruitment, retention & promotion and how this is impacted by bias and stereotypes in wider society. In fulfilling our mission, we will challenge misconceptions, share our experiences, uplift and celebrate the successes of Black Men in education and society alike.
A network that raises the profile of teaching amongst black males and create space for black male educators to thrive.
