How can we ensure every student sees themselves reflected in their teachers?
In short: Black men currently represent less than three percent of the teaching workforce in the United States. This video explores a new initiative designed to change that statistic through professional development and job placement.
TED Fellow and education innovator Larry Irvin introduces the work of Brothers Empowered to Teach. The program focuses on creating pathways into the education profession for Black men by providing training, professional development, and personal support. By utilizing a holistic, people-centered approach, the initiative aims to increase representation in classrooms across the US.
