Ep. 27 Black Male Teachers in Minnesota, The Unknown Tragedy

<div class="kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q"> <div dir="auto">Minnesota has one of the best education systems in the country unless you are a black boy. Black male teachers are only 0.5% of the teaching population in Minnesota and just 2% nationally. Studies show that if black boys have at least one Black male teacher during their elementary school years they are 29% less likely to drop out of school years later (this number was 39% for very low-income Black students).</div> </div> <div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q"> <div dir="auto">Markus Flynn, Executive Director of <a href= "https://blackmenteachtc.org/">Black Men Teach</a> will discuss the disparities and their impact and his initiative to recruit, prepare, place and retain Black male teachers in elementary schools.</div> </div>
